| Hey Friend,
There
are a lot of different guidelines for recommended water intake. The old
school recommendation was to drink 8 glasses of water per day. Now
while that may be enough water for a sedentary individual, it's not
enough for active people who are involved in exercise and fitness.==>> How To Know If You Are Drinking Enough Water?
For
active people I recommend that you consume a minimum of 1/2 ounce of
water per pound of bodyweight per day.
That's approximately 33
milliliters per kilogram of bodyweight for those of you who prefer the metric system :-)
So for example, a 200 pound man (90 kilos) should drink at least 100
ounces (3 liters) of water per day.
This is a good baseline water
intake, but if you feel thirsty beyond this, by all means drink more
water.
Here are some practical tips for drinking more water during the day. - Each
morning when you wake up drink 2 glasses of pure water before you have
anything else. This will re-hydrate your body after all night. So before
you eat breakfast or before you grab a cup of coffee... Drink 2 glasses
of water!
- When you workout keep a water bottle with you at all times and
sip on water between sets. By having a steady supply of water during
your workouts you'll keep your body hydrated and maintain higher
strength and energy levels.
- When you go on long walks, bike rides, hikes, etc. take water
with you. I personally use and recommend a water back pack such as the
Camelbak.
- Drink a glass of water with each of your meals.
In
general try to not let yourself get thirsty. Try to keep ahead of your
water intake so that you drink before your mouth is dry and you are
dehydrated.
I recently made a YouTube video talking about water intake along with a "silly trick" that you can use each day to determine if you are drinking enough water - or if you need to drink more...
