What is the best beverage you can drink to maintain a good health that you already have in your kitchen? Of course, it's water. Numerous studies have found a connection between drinking water and staying fit and healthy. About 60% of your body is composed of water. To let your body function properly you need to stay hydrated.
The general recommendation is eight 8-oz glasses of water (about 2 liters) per day. People who exercise a lot or work long hours may need to drink more. If you find that 8 glasses is too much, drink as needed, and always drink when you're thirsty. It's also a good idea to start a day with a glass of water and drink a glass 30 minutes before every meal. Try to avoid sipping water during a meal because it can lead to problems with digestion. If you feel tired, have a headache or find it hard to concentrate, you may be dehydrated. Regular water intake can help you avoid these unpleasant symptoms.
