 How Much Ionized Alkaline Water Should I Drink?One of the most common questions people ask nutritionists, doctors, and fitness coaches is, "How much water should I drink?" It seems like every magazine article, website and news program recommends drinking eight 8-10 ounce glasses of water every day. But is that enough for your individual health requirements? If you went running on a hot July morning you'd probably need much more water than someone who donned a business suit, sat in traffic for the same amount of time, and arrived at the office. So how do you calculate how much water to drink? Thirst is the WORST Gauge of Needing WaterMost holistic health practitioners believe that thirst is actually the WORST gauge of whether or not you need water. Yet many people wait until they're very thirsty before sipping even a bit of water.When you feel thirsty, you are actually already in a state of mild dehydration. You lose 2 to 3 liters of water ever day just through normal metabolic processes. You've got to replace that and more for active and vital good health. Coffee Doesn't CountMany people scoff at the idea of drinking extra water during the day. They assume that all the coffee, tea, soda and fruit juice they're drinking counts towards their daily water requirement.Nothing could be further from the truth! Beside their acidic effect on the body, most of the beverages listed above include caffeine. Instead of replacing the fluids your body needs, caffeine drains them away by acting as a mild diuretic. That's why you may have to urinate more after you drink coffee or tea than just drinking plain water. The caffeine encourages the body to release more water, and thus you add to your own hydration deficit by drinking lots of caffeinated beverages.
