Water - The Fountain Of Life

Not EVERYONE requires exactly eight glasses of water every day. The Institute of Medicine has determined that an adequate intake (AI) for men is roughly 3 liters (about 13 cups) of total beverages a day. The AI for women is 2.2 liters (about 9 cups) of total beverages a day.

 So the traditional rule should really be stated as: “Drink at least eight 8-ounce glasses of fluid a day,” because all fluids (juice, coffee, tea, other beverages and some foods like soup) count toward your daily total.

 But none the less, water is important for our health. About 60% of our body consisted of water and many important bodily function such as digestion, absorption, circulation, creation of saliva, transportation of nutrients, and maintenance of body temperature is dependent on water. 



Why should i drink more water?

  •  Increases Energy & Relieves Fatigue – Since your brain is mostly water, drinking it helps you think, focus and concentrate better and be more alert. As an added bonus, your energy levels are also boosted!
  •  Promotes Weight Loss – Removes by-products of fat, reduces eating intake (by filling up your tummy if consumed prior to meals), reduces hunger (hello natural appetite suppressant!), raises your metabolism and has zero calories
  •  Flushes Out Toxins – Gets rid of waste through sweat and urination which reduces the risk of kidney stones and UTI’s (urinary tract infections).
  •  Improves Skin Complexion – Moisturizes your skin, keeps it fresh, soft, glowing and smooth. dehydrated skin looks dry. 
  • Maintains Regularity – Aids in digestion as water is essential to digest your food and prevents constipation.
  • Boosts Immune System – A water guzzler is less likely to get sick.  Drinking plenty of water helps fight against flu, cancer and other ailments like heart attacks.
  •  Natural Headache Remedy – Helps relieve and prevent headaches (migraines & back pains too!) which are commonly caused by dehydration
  • Prevents Cramps & Sprains - Proper hydration helps keep joints lubricated and muscles more elastic so joint pain is less likely.
  • Puts You in a Good Mood – When the body is functioning at its best, you will feel great and be happy.
How to drink more water?
  1. Carry a water bottle with you everywhere you go. 
  2. Make water your drink of choice. Consciously choose water instead of sweetened beverages.
  3. Quench your thirst with water and not sweetened beverages.
  4. Drink water before and after meal, after you get up in the morning and before you go to bed.
  5. Put a bottle of water on your work desk. If it is there, you are more likely to drink it.

Harmony Valley Retreat Di Janda Baik: Weekend Getaway In Lush Misty Mountain This staycation was what, late last year? Somewhere in November I think, during Deepavali long weekend. Vacation yilek, staycation pun jadilah sis.  Personally, I find that staycation is much more relaxing because you don't have to go through the hassle of planning your itinerary. Most of all, you don't have to go through the stress of traveling. Urghhh, few hours to & fro airport, waiting at the airport, the stress and anxiety of going through immigration and such. Just thinking about it makes me tired. #sisaging So anyway, back to Harmony Valley Retreat. You know la, sis ni suka tempat yang aman, back to nature, nyaman sejuk-sejuk. Untuk lari daripada hiruk pikuk kota metropolitan. And Harmony Valley Retreat is just the perfect place to rejuvenate, recharge & relax.
