Drink pure to stay healthy

DRINK PURE TO STAY HEALTHY

By NETHRA VIJAYAKUMAR


Keeping hydrated is crucial for health and well-being, but many people do not consume enough fluids each day.
Around 60 percent of the body is made up of water, and around 71 percent of the planet’s surface is covered by water.

Benefits of drinking water:
Water keeps every system in the body functioning properly. Here are few important jobs carried out by water, they are 
• carrying nutrients and oxygen to your cells
• flushing bacteria from your bladder
• aiding digestion
• preventing constipation
• normalizing blood pressure
• stabilizing the heartbeat
• cushioning joints
• protecting organs and tissues
• regulating body temperature
• maintaining electrolyte (sodium) balance.

Giving your body enough fluids to carry out those tasks means that you're staying hydrated.
If you don't drink enough water each day, you risk becoming dehydrated. Warning signs of dehydration include weakness, low blood pressure, dizziness, confusion, or urine that's dark in color.

How much water should you drink a day?
The amount of water needed each day varies from person to person, depending on how active they are, how much they sweat, and so on.
There is no fixed amount of water that must be consumed daily, but there is general agreement on what a healthy fluid intake is. Atleast eight glasses of water is to be taken per day.


Fresh fruits and vegetables and all non-alcoholic fluids count towards this recommendation.

Times when it is most important to drink plenty of water include:
• when you have a fever
• when the weather is hot
• if you have diarrhea and vomiting
• when you sweat a lot, for example, due to physical activity.

Facts:
Here are some facts about water:
• Babies and children have a higher percentage of water than adults. When babies are born, they are about 78 percent water, but this falls to 65 percent by the age of 1 year.
• Fatty tissue has less water than lean tissue.
• Men have more water than women, as a percentage.

Pure water is the world’s first and foremost medicine.” –Slovakian Proverb

The truth about Fats

TRUTH ABOUT FAT By NETHRA VIJAYAKUMAR DIETARY FAT Fat is a type of nutrient, and just like protein and carbohydrates, your body needs some fat for energy, to absorb vitamins, and to protect your heart and brain health.  Dietary fat and cholesterol Dietary fat also plays a major role in your cholesterol levels. Cholesterol is a fatty, wax-like substance that your body needs to function properly. In and of itself, cholesterol isn’t bad. But when you get too much of it, it can have a negative impact on your health. As with dietary fat, there are good and bad types of cholesterol.          • HDL cholesterol is the “ good ” kind of cholesterol found in your blood.          • LDL cholesterol is the “ bad ” kind.          • The key is to keep LDL levels low and HDL high, which may protect against heart disease and stroke.          • Conversely, high levels of LDL cholesterol can clog arteries and low HDL can be a marker for increased cardiovascular risk.

Create healthy habits, not restrictions

CREATE HEALTHY HABITS, NOT RESTRICTIONS By NETHRA VIJAYAKUMAR Body weight control is much more successful if you can combine a well balanced diet with a healthy lifestyle. Crash diets may have positive short term results, but they tend to have poor long term success rates. As a Dietitian, it’s hard for me to counsel on weight loss. This may sound odd, but it’s the truth. I may be able to educate you on how to eat healthy, apart from diet the person may also be facing many other issues, that contribute to their struggle with weight loss – work pressure, financial issues, relationship struggles etc., And until one is able to find a way to deal with these life stressors, struggles with weight will continue to persist.  So while counseling, each person it taken into consideration and would see where the changes can be made in their lifestyle. I believe that, these small changes will add up to big results. I might suggest a lot of ideas to them of where the changes might need to
