I never liked water. Even as a baby my parents had to trick me in order to drink some. I find it at least boring and un-tasty. Juices yes, they are refreshing. Coffee is yummy. Milk is fulfilling. Not to mention alcohol and all the beautiful things that it does to a super-stressed person like me.
I always had this theory that since my body doesn’t ask for water it probably doesn’t need it. I never had a good relationship with discipline, especially when it comes to these little (or huge) enjoyments of life or these despicable have-to-s.
The human body is about 60% water in adult males and 55% in adult females and as everyone says it’s good for more or less everything.
I was sure that the water I consume through other beverages keeps my body hydrated enough, even though I am the human camel. That was till I had this conversation yesterday with one of my girlfriends’ mom.
We were having coffee and my glass of water was untouched, which brought up questions and forced me to stand up for myself and my weird theory I mentioned above.
So people how do we find out if we are drinking enough water?
- Next time you go to the toilet for number one check out the color of the “product”. If it’s anything else than really light yellow then “Huston we have a problem”! Start drinking some more water.
The pee song.
