When you are thirsty…
...it is actually too late! THIRST is an alarm signal of your body. It makes is presence felt to get "rinsed"!
But don't drown it. Again and again the question is raised: How much do I have to drink effectively?
Sincerely, Peter.
With this in mind: Cheers!
Attention! Avoid spritzer and pure juice. These contain a lot of sugar and diminish your success.
Consider these advices and become even more successful and live a healthier live. Avoid alcohol but don't be afraid to treat yourself once and a while with it if you like. Just be moderate.
"No sugar = no insulin production = ongoing fat burn" – this is what you came here for today!
1. Start your day with two glasses of still water. First thing to do in the morning right before your morning wash should be walking into the kitchen to drink a glass of water and to put one glass of water into your coffee maker.
2. Have a cup of coffee or tea at breakfast or during preparation of meals. (up to three mugs of coffee may be added to your fluid intake)
3. Have one or two glasses of water right before every meal! There is the advantage of already having something in your stomach and feeling satiety obviously sooner.
4. Use small water bottles on the move. These will fit in any (hand-)bag and are not heavy. I have heard of the advice to put a big bottle of water on your office desk so that you see it and are reminded to drink. Nice in theory, but in the afternoon at the latest it will look like a small aquarium. No thanks.
5. To drink regularly is just a habit. Use a reminder from your mobile phone or MS Outlook. A couple of weeks later you will be drinking before you are reminded. It has become a habit.
6. Use pauses during your workout to have a sip. Prefer water or if your goal is to burn fat a drink with supplementary L-carnitin. Mostly these contain no sugar at all but taste delicious. L-carnitin takes care of additional fat burn during your endurance training. Just try it and you will see that you transpire even more during the workout. If your health club offers vitamin or mineral drinks you are provided with nice alternative to water low in calories and sugar.
Just a couple of advices how to achieve the proper water amount easily and even successfully raise fat burn.
Daily routine neglects fluid intake too often. Time and again reactions to my recommendations are: "That much? I can cope with 1 l at the maximum!"
The lymph as well needs water to function properly. By the way, a very important cosmetic aspect: BULGING TISSUE = a trained muscle supplied with water and protein.
Your most important muscle needs water to keep the blood "thin". When the blood gets thick your heart has to work harder to pump it into and through your veins. Treat your heart well. Make its life easier by sufficient fluid intake.
Did you already know that a baby's body consist of almost 80 % water?
Your body consist of 50-80 % water. The older we grow, the lower the water content gets. We wither slowly just like a flower. Thank god it happens quite a bit slower as most of the flowers but growing older is nothing else but a genetic withering process.
Water. Why is it this important?
How much fluid is needed depends on your bodily stress, on room and outdoor temperature, on your activity e.g. sports and last but not least on consumed food. Different food has different water content.
The statement to drink at least 2 l of fluid is just a hard and fast answer as well. But 2 l of water are not too much. I will explain how to achieve this goal via a couple of drinking advices later on.
A general answer is just not possible. I have heard of the wildest calculation formulae but an exact amount can not be identified.
