Staying Hydrated During Beach Season
There are many people, especially around summer months, who prefer to carry their own drinking as well as be near water.
The most popular places to spend warmer months, especially to get away from your usual routine are the beaches.
Water not only provides a great playground, but also provides life every living creature including us.
The significance of staying well hydrated should not be under estimated when considering your health and well-being.
The quantity of water and fluids in your body may not come to mind until you "feel" that there is something wrong.
In reality, problems will occur with too much or too little.
A fundamental guide to calculate the normal amount of fluids a person should drink is based on his or her weight.
For a child of 44 pounds, 1.
5 liters of fluid per day is recommended.
From this point, add 20 ml for every pound of body weight.
These are very basic guidelines for sustaining health.
A person weighing 150 pounds or 68 Kg should drink at least 2.
5 liters (2.
64 quarts) of water.
But keep in mind that you should also consider your medical history, if you are prone to conditions that require you to limit your intake of water daily.
Persons who like playing on the beach, hiking or exploring a new city on a hot summer day and those who love to exercise during hot climates will need much more and should pay attention to how dehydrated they might be.
One of the most successful ways to judge your state of hydration is to observe your toilet.
How often you urinate and what color is the urine? There's no need to rush to the doctor, just observe.
Dark yellow urine may indicate that you are dehydrated.
When someone becomes more and more dehydrated, he/she begins to urinate less and less and the color darkens.
If you're one who is active in warm weather locations especially drier climates, you should consider getting at least the minimum daily fluid intake.
To those who are very active, for example if you love an outdoor sport, carrying heavy bags while walking distances (shopping), sitting or standing in very warm spaces, you might want to consider how increasing your daily intake of water above the minimum requirements.
This is what they call "maintaining, over half", and this is how it sounds.
If you must drink a minimum of 2 liters per day, you should instead take in 3 liters per day.
In the case of athletes, then it's recommended to drink 10 liters or more to compensate for the loss of fluid in your body.
When glucose is also in the intestine, water molecules can travel across the wall of tissue faster and get into the bloodstream, where it is needed most.
This is a fundamental principle, because the one responsible in regulating your body's balance between acidity and alkalinity is the electrolytes.
The electrolytes also help control the movement of water in throughout body.
Glucose is essential to move water from your intestines into your blood stream.
Every time you drink a glass of water or more, it goes immediately to the intestines.
From there, water molecules then are absorbed throughout the intestinal wall to your bloodstream.
This is the fundamental principle of why oral rehydration solution (ORS) and sports drinks are so effective in the treatment of dehydration.
