HOW MUCH WATER SHOULD YOU DRINK?

Christine Tay • Aug 24, 2020

NOT ENOUGH is my guess!! Over 75% of us are chronically dehydrated.

Most of the people I see for health assessments are barely drinking enough. Most people struggle to drink 1 litre a day.
If you consider that the standard prescribed "fluid restriction for heart failure patients is between 1 to 1.5 litres per day , you can see quite clearly that you are not drinking enough.

If you haven't got heart, kidney or liver issues then you should be aiming to drink up to the WHO guidelines of drinking 2.7 litres a day for women and 3.7 litres a day for men. It seems like a lot , but if you are experiencing poor energy levels and frequent headaches, then this should be one of the first places to start. Obviously if you are exercising or even working in extreme heat you will need more.

Improving your water intake has also been shown to assist with weight loss efforts and weight maintenance.

So , this should be one of the first things to concentrate on when looking to improve your health.

Health coaching involves working with a trained mentor and educator to make realistic health goals and maintain the motivation until you meet those goals. Whether your health goal is to improve your fitness, lose weight or eat a healthy diet, Health Coaching has been proven to be very successful in maintaining motivation and accountability to meet your goals until the new healthy behaviour becomes habit. It involves looking into the real reasons you may be sabotaging your health and working out ways to overcome those hurdles. The process involves an initial comprehensive health assessment whereby areas for improvement will be highlighted . Tests such as bloods for cholesterol levels, kidney function, liver function, thyroid function, iron levels , blood pressure and blood glucose etc will be advised, and is a good idea to have a baseline set of measurements taken.Then we will work together to develop a health goal you want to meet . Subsequent sessions are based around what has happened in the previous week. We discuss what worked well , what didnt and devise strategies to assist you to move past those obstacles. I also provide education on areas specific to your goal and ongoing motivation. I offer a FREE comprehensive health assessment and FREE no obligation first coaching session . Try it! You have nothing to lose!
