YOUNGER 's water drinking advice
From a functional medicine perspective, effective water drinking methods include the following:-
Personalize your intake : adjust your daily water intake based on your age, activity level, and health status
-
Water : About 30 to 35 ml of water per kilogram of body weight per day (small amounts and multiple times) is required to maintain a light yellow urine color.
-
Electrolytes : Drink 500 ml of water on an empty stomach after waking up, and drink another 500 ml of water 1-2 hours later, and add electrolytes (such as triple roasted bamboo salt, a teaspoon of salt, sugar-free electrolyte powder/tablets or lemon, etc.) to help cells better utilize water. If you take food during meals, you don’t need to add electrolytes specifically because the food already contains enough salt.
-
Even distribution : Avoid waiting until you are thirsty to drink water. Try to drink water in small sips at regular intervals so that the body can absorb it better.
-
Hydration during exercise : Exercise can cause water loss. Replenish water before, during and after exercise to avoid dehydration.
-
Cut back on diuretic drinks : Coffee, tea, alcohol, energy drinks and sugary drinks cause the body to lose water through urine and feces. If you like to drink coffee in the morning, remember to follow it with a glass of water
-
Water-rich foods : Eat more fruits and vegetables with high water content and low glycemic index to help with water intake
-
Intestinal health : Proper water intake helps digestion and nutrient absorption
-
Maintain detoxification : Sufficient water can help remove waste and toxins from the body
-
Be aware of your body’s signals : Adjust your water intake based on dark urine, dry skin, fatigue, or other body signals
"I don't like to drink tasteless water. I drink tea as water. Even black coffee that is very weak should be considered water!"
"I always drink unsweetened tea, so that should be okay, right?"
Of course! But remember, coffee and tea are not the same as water. No matter what you like to drink, make sure you get enough water. Body cells cannot function properly without water, and for people with high blood sugar or high blood fat, lack of water will make the blood thicker, which will put a greater strain on the heart and kidneys.
Thanks to technology, drinking water has become easier in the modern world. Many smartphones can help you set daily water goals, plan your drinking progress, and set reminder alarms. These tools are especially useful for busy modern people, and can effectively avoid forgetting to drink water. Don't let work pressure or busy life affect your water intake. Maintaining effective hydration is essential for health!

Dr. Hyman stressed the importance of hydration. He recommended that we drink plenty of water throughout the day to help eliminate toxins, improve digestion, and keep the body functioning optimally. He recommended drinking at least eight glasses of water a day and suggested avoiding sugary drinks such as spiked shakes, sodas, and energy drinks.
Adequate hydration is essential for maintaining healthy skin, regulating body temperature, and lubricating joints. It also helps you maintain higher energy and focus throughout the day. If you find yourself struggling to drink enough water, consider carrying a reusable water bottle with you. You can also add a slice of lemon or cucumber to your water for a refreshing flavor.
