 Hydration

The top reason for visits to the family doctor last year was cited as a lack of energy.

This is not surprising given the fast paced culture people set as their standard. We work more than we used to, watch more TV, dine out and try to squeeze family time in on top of this hectic schedule. No wonder coffee sales are doing great as an energy medication. Like in every circumstance, there are options.


One of the first things I get my clients to implement into their daily routine is an increase in water. We are about 85% water so the effect of being hydrated is enormous. In this knowledge economy, most people get paid to think, so think of your brain as a raisin when dehydrated and like a plum when hydrated.

Just a 1% drop in hydration will affect the nervous system and cause dehydration. Common signs of dehydration include headaches, dry skin, constipation, fatigue, hunger, muscle cramps, and joint pain to name a few.

How do you know if you are hydrated? Well, your urine should be clear or slightly yellow and ideally your stool should float.

Many people comment that they drink juices and caffeinated drinks in place of H20 but unfortunately this doesn’t cut it. Caffeine drinks will have a dehydrating effect on your body while juices and sport drinks, which contain plenty of sugar, also dehydrate.

This is a hard concept for most to understand after being heavily programmed by successful marketing. The ideal amount of water to consume is half your body weight a day in ounces. For example a 150lb. person needs 75 ounces a day and even more if they are exercising and /or drinking caffeinated beverages.


So if  You are Tired of Being Tired...try hydrating.

Later this week.....Part two...Sleep and Part Three...Food.

Please share with family and friends...they will have more energy and thank you for it.
