How much water do I drink a day



Water is crucial for the human body. It helps regulate temperature, transports nutrients, flushes waste, and lubricates joints. In fact, up to 60 percent of the human body is made of water. But while humans certainly need to stay hydrated, the idea that everyone should drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water each day is not necessarily true.
Some experts suggest 8 glasses, others 2 litres
This is not a state where one cap fits all.  

Every human body has its own characteristics, and requires a different measure.
A simple way is to drink as much water as is needed to ensure an easy soft flush out.
Less water hardens the waste, and this causes issues of constipation. 

Excess water dilutes the different acids, system generated, to digest foods.
Dilution will hamper the breakdown of food and create its own set of complications.

So next time you drink water, decide how much you need 
to have a soft flush. This could be a good indicator.
You can also get a clue from the colour of your urine. Dark yellow or orange urine usually indicates dehydration. Well-hydrated urine should look pale yellow or colourless.

 



Stop walking and Stay Fit...


It is a School of Thought when the Motor Mechanic asks that the Vehicle be run daily to keep it operational.
What we need to realize is that this Idle running, in the idea of keeping it in good condition causes unnecessary Wear and Tear of parts, necessitating sooner replacement of parts.

This running is not useful conversion of energy, although it is done to ensure the vehicle is in Good condition when wanted. If it is to keep the battery not losing its charge, then a better way is to disconnect the battery leads so that the battery does not discharge.

Similar is a School of Thought when one is recommended to go for long walks, do the tread mill, do rigorous exercise to stay healthy. Every joint is designed for a limited number of cycles of movement. If the walk is to arrive at a destination, then it serves a purpose. But if it is meant to enable us stay healthy, then replacements like knee cap and other leg joints can be the default status.

A better way is to flex all joints individually once a day, just once, so that it gets its movement and de-stresses... Think before you get ready for your next walk.
