It's summer and everybody starts preaching "Drink a lot of water!" "2 Litres/8 glassful per day". Almost everybody agrees, but not all follow. Even I had the same problem.
A quick look its usefulness and some tricks may help to improve commitment.
Though Water is a quick respite from heat, there are more benefits. A clean and healthy body, Clear Glowing Skin(Naturopathy) - Rather this is more effective than any cosmetics for skin. [ There are other natural methods, like use of Lemon, use of juicy fruits, Regular bath with a cold water.. needs separate topic].
Quick indicator of water Shortage: Colored Urine. Urine gets diluted (and thus clear) if you drink sufficient water (You can experiment this very easily). This ensures a perfect cleaning. If you drink less, solids in very very small quantities start depositing in the urinary system(due to non-flushing), which over time become some the most painful and harmful diseases. Though there can be other reasons for this, in case you are not well.
"OK Agreed! But I just Don't feel enough thirsty to drink that much water. Does My body need that much water!"
Usually we get thirsty only when the need for water reaches critical condition (Dehydration/Fainting is very critical).
We got to make a forceful habit to drink required water. Do this for a month or two, and you would notice that you automatically start feeling thirsty. The intake will continue on its own. It took me around 1 month to put it in Habit.
To Force yourselves for some days, here are some Quick Tricks.
A friend of mine, keeps a water bottle filled with him at work table at visible place. You unknowingly tend to sip-in at regular intervals.
Some people make a schedule like 2 glass warm water when we get up, 1 glass (half hour) before meal, 2 glass (2 hours) after meal etc. (Needs lot of Discipline!)
I made a decision to drink water whenever I get reminded may be by seeing a water bottle or vessel, Or whenever I remember - Irrespective of whether I feel thirsty or not!
This is Only about Drinking of water.. There are many more ways water can be useful to body.. Keep watching this space!
