There are so many kinds of beverages that people can drink
these days. Coffee, soda, alcohol, energy drinks, and juices just to name a
few. With all these kinds of beverages out there, it is important to remember to
drink water. Water seems like a very common thing that we use and see in our
everyday lives. However, water is the most abundant substance in the human body and is
essential for life. It is the most indispensable nutrient of all! Water makes
up about sixty percent of a person’s body weight. So let’s say you weight about a hundred and
fifty pounds. That means that ninety pounds of you is water!
Because of the amount of water in your body, a change in
body’s water content can bring a temporary in body weight.
So just because you lose a pound, DOES NOT mean you have lost weight from fat. The
body loses water through digestion, breathing, sweating, and urination. Drinks
that contain caffeine are not effective substitutes for water!
According to Human Water Requirement Calculator, eight
glasses of water is recommended each day. However, this website will calculate
how much water you, personal should drink. My roommates and I share a Brita
filter container to filter the water from the tap. I fill up my water bottles
with this water to drink daily. I feel like this is an eco-friendly way to
drink water than wasting a bunch of water bottles all the time.
Last year I bought water bottles constantly because I didn't want to drink the tap water. It felt like such a waste and pointless use of money! I recently bought one of the water bottles with the Brita filter too. I love it! I don't think I get as much water as I'm supposed to each day, although I do try. I'll have to start paying more attention!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad the Brita works for you too! I think the best way to get the most water is to fill up several water bottles and try to drink them all.
ReplyDeleteI drink water ALL THE TIME! I use a Brita filter as well!
ReplyDeleteI try to drink water as often as I can. I always drink water when I go out to eat...which is more often than I should. I hate wasting plastic water bottles I may have to check out and invest in a Brita too :)
ReplyDeleteI love my Brita. It is just so easy.
