6 Troubling Signs You Need More Water II

5. Headaches and/or Irritability:
Your body may be in need of more water if you’re suffering an unusual headache. [3] If you’re finding tasks more difficult than usual, or if you’re feeling slightly moody, then it might be time for a break and a glass of water as well. [4] Difficulty concentrating is also a sign that you’re slightly low on H2O.

6. Constipation:
We all know that the number one culprit for constipation is usually lack of fiber. In some cases, however, lack of water is more of a problem than lack of green leaves in the diet. [5] The next time you’re having trouble with bowel movement, drink a couple of glasses of water and see if it helps.

How Much Water Do I Really Need?
Recommended daily intake of water may vary per region, and this may be because climate also affects how much water you need a day. In the U.S., the typical daily water intake for males is 3.7 liters and 2.7 liters for females. In the UK, the recommendation is 1.8 liters for both. [6] In the desert, you’ll need more. Keep an eye on your urine color.

8 glasses a day with a 240 mL glass measurement is a more popular rule of thumb, and it helps a lot of people remember to stay hydrated throughout the day. People with renal problems should consult with their doctor for their recommended daily water intake.

6 Troubling Signs You Need More Water I

Your body simply cannot function properly if it is dehydrated – and the more dehydrated you are, the more problems will occur. All throughout the day, and even while we sleep, our body uses water. The “water” we see expelled through our sweat and urine is essential to removal of toxins, and we actually need more than the amount we put out to make up for the losses. This is because every single cell in our body uses H2O to function. That doesn’t even count the activities we participate in everyday, like exercise and yes, even thinking. Our brain cells need a lot of water in order to function.
1. Dark, Infrequent Urine:
This one is probably the most obvious and best signs. Ideally, you should always aim to be observant regarding the color of your urine as it is an immediate indicator of your hydration level. Your urine should be pale in color. If it is dark, it is too concentrated and you need more fluids. Also if you haven’t urinated for several hours, you probably are not drinking enough.

2. Bad Breath:
Without enough water, our bodies start to withhold whatever water it can, wherever it can. Feeling extremely hot yet being unable to sweat, or being unable to p*e, are signs of severe dehydration, but these signs occur later on. One of the first parts of the body that get depleted of water is the mouth. Xerostomia, or dry mouth, can cause a foul odor to build up in our mouths due to the lack of saliva and its cleansing properties. [1]

Drinking water is also a good way to wash off the plaque and bacteria that build up in your mouth. So the next time you’re offered a mint, you might want a glass of water or two to go with that.

3. Dry Skin:
Dry skin, especially on the lips and eyes, are clinical signs of dehydration. When your skin is thirsty, chances are most of the cells inside of your body are getting thirsty as well. Moisturizers and creams don’t work as well as getting enough H2O every day to fix dry, dull skin.

Regularly drinking water also fixes premature wrinkles and fine lines. Taking a water bottle from home with you wherever you go might help you get your water fix daily.

4. Muscle Cramps:
Muscle cramps are a sign of a great many alarming things, including dehydration. [2] The most common cause of cramps is insufficient nutrients like magnesium, potassium, or sodium, but you can have a lot of these in the diet without enough water to transport them to the muscles that need them.

8 Simple Tips For Healthy Skin II

6. Make sure you get your Vitamin C.
Research on skin cancer has proven that Vitamin C protects our body from skin cancer by activating our tumor-fighting antibodies. [7] Additionally, another study suggests that it protects us against various cancers that occur in the head and neck. [8] You don’t have to worry on overdosing on vitamin C since it’s a water soluble vitamin, which means it easily comes out of your system through urine. However, the safe dosage range would be 1000 to 1,500 milligrams per day. To ensure that you’re staying on dose, get your vitamin C from fruits and vegetables. Papaya, yellow bell peppers, broccoli, brussels sprouts, and strawberries have the highest vitamin C content. Vitamin C is highly acidic, so drink plenty of water. Water is the best neutralizer for any kind of acid, this vitamin included, and increased water intake improves skin elasticity. People who suffer from hyperacidity and gastroesophageal reflux may also take sodium ascorbate instead of the regular vitamin C for reduced acidity.

7. Stay Away From Cigarette Smoke.
It’s well known now that cigarette smoke has an aging effect on the skin.

8. Get Enough Sleep.
Another one that’s fairly obvious. You can always tell when someone isn’t getting enough sleep because of that “haggard” look. Deep sleep is when your body does essential repair work. Another super tip: Change your pillowcase more often. This can help maintaining a fresher facial complexion.

8 Simple Tips For Healthy Skin I

Our skin is the largest organ in our bodies and functions as the first line of defense against thousands of bacterial, viral, and fungal infections. For our skin to perform this function, it has to be healthy and intact (without breaks like cuts and wounds), moisturized and elastic. Following some simple tips to keep your skin in good condition may help protect you from all kinds of conditions… with the added benefit of making you look great.

1. Eat Healthy
This one sounds like stating the obvious but people still need to hear it. A great body needs great ingredients put in! Plenty of fresh vegetables, fruit and juices are vital for clear, healthy skin.

2. Destressing May Be More Effective Than Facials.
Facials aren’t for everyone. You need to know what kind of skin you have so you can ascertain the products you’re going to use on your face. Using the wrong product on any part of your skin may do more harm than good in the long run. [1] Facials work for so many likely because of the relaxing, calming effect the treatment has on you. An hour of meditating, relaxing, and generally letting go of stress may be more beneficial to your skin than taking your chances at getting skin treatment that you’re unsure of.

3. Go Natural.
Mother Nature almost has the entire gamut of skin care topical solutions that address both aesthetic and medical concerns. [2] Always go for natural products to put on your skin. Make you products yourself with natural ingredients so you know exactly what you lather on. If you choose to buy your products instead of making them, read the labels before you buy. If it’s too long to read, contain ingredients that you can’t pronounce, or contains ingredients you’ve never heard of before, it’s probably safest to put the item back on the shelf and search for a new, less chemically loaded product.

4. Limit Exposure to UV light.
Repeated, prolonged exposure to UV rays cause sun damage and malignant cell formation on and underneath your skin. This repeated damage and multiplying abnormal cell formations ultimately result in skin cancer. Stay away from overexposure to the sun, which emits both UVA and UVB light. Tanning beds emit UVA light which also causes skin damage, therefore it’s best to stay away from those as well. [3]

Parasols, hats and long, loose clothing are best. But in the event that sun exposure is unavoidable, lather sunscreen on exposed areas of your skin. Sunscreens that have grape seed extract, sea buckthorn oil, marigold, artemisia, cumin, milk thistle included in their ingredients will limit the damage done to your skin. However, you can’t be too sure of the content of commercially distributed sunscreens. Squeezing aloe vera gel out direct from the plant’s leaf and lathering it on your skin also protects you from UV damage. [4] Using sesame oil and borage oil works as well.

5. Get your weekly dose of antioxidants.
Antioxidants give you protection against free radicals and can help keep your skin looking youthful. [5] Our bodies produce their own antioxidants, but this happens in trace amounts. Antioxidants from 3 servings of berries a week also has the additional benefit of protecting your heart. [6] Add the fresh berries to your salad, cereal, oatmeal, or make it into a smoothie for easy consumption.

Blood Pressure Knowledge

For our bodies to push nutrient and oxygen-filled blood into our systems, our heart has to exert a certain amount of pressure through our blood vessels. The measurement of that pressure is called our blood pressure, measured in millimiters per mercury (mmHg.) Just by measuring that, health care providers can get a pretty good idea of what’s going on inside our bodies, along with other contributory indicators. It’s one of the cardinal signs that doctors assess when checking on our overall health. [1]

Blood Pressure – Why Is It So Important?
Apart from the pressure exerted from our hearts to pump blood throughout our entire body, the blood vessels that run throughout our body exert a certain amount of pressure to keep itself intact. In cases of high blood pressure, the heart is exerting too much force for the blood vessels to handle. These blood vessels are very sensitive, and compromising its integrity with pressure it can’t handle can cause it to harden or even break. You could suffer a heart attack or a stroke if the pressure gets too high for your blood vessels to handle.

Blood Pressure Factors:
Lifestyle and genes are the two main contributors of how high or how low your blood pressure can go. [2] If you have a family member that suffers from high blood pressure, there’s a chance that you can be suffering from the same thing. It’s also very possible for you to have high blood pressure even if none of your family members suffered from it because of your everyday diet and activities. This is mainly why blood pressure is so important; if you don’t live a healthy lifestyle, your blood pressure will eventually become abnormal. Although almost certainly, if you live a healthy lifestyle, your blood pressure will be normal.

Excessive alcohol intake, a stressful work and home environment, smoking, lack of physical activity intense enough to make your heart pump, and poor diet can cause your blood pressure to rise without you even knowing it.

Other factors that can contribute to high blood pressure are diseases that affect the heart, the liver, or the kidney, as well any given medication that you’re taking. Your hormone levels, weight, as well as how much salt you intake also affects your blood pressure. [3]

Blood pressure – What Do These Numbers Mean?
The two parts of your blood pressure measurement is when your heart is at its peak strength of pressure, which is called systolic pressure, and when your heart relaxes from pumping blood to your whole body, called diastolic pressure.

10 Herbal Remedies for an Immune System Boost - The immune system is a finely tuned system of organs, immune cells and substances that protect your body from infections. The spleen, thymus gland, bone marrow, lymph nodes and white blood cells are key players in the immune system. Viruses, bacteria and other microorganisms attempt to infect the body by entering through cuts, fluids, and other means. The immune system detects a germs and attempts to block their entry into the body. If germs succeed in entering the body, the immune system isolates them and kills them.
It’s really a neat protective defense system. But there are things you can do that actually hurt your immune system. If you eat too much sugar, it can reduce the ability of white blood cells to kill bacteria for several hours. Excess weight can also interfere with the immune system’s ability to fight infection. And (no surprise here) long-term stress can weaken your immune system. How many times have you dealt with a stressful situation, only to become ill afterwards? It’s because your immune system couldn’t fight off the cause of your illness.
In this article, Saufiya shares 10 remedies, the majority of which are herbs, that provide a boost to immune systems. This is a good overview on this subject. It left me wanting more specific details though. For example, Echinacea does have anti-inflammatory properties. It’s been used for ages to treat wounds and infections. But this is how it evidently works: The herb actually stimulates white blood cells and lymphocytes to attack any invading microorganisms. White blood cells and spleen cells increase in the presence of echinacea. This increases the amount of immune cells that can deal with the invaders. As a result, the immune system is strengthened.
