How much water do you drink in a day? Be honest with yourself and fruit drinks,coffee,juice,and milk don't count. These drinks actually dehydrate the body of fluids because they are either stimulants, pasturized, or artificially sweetened which all stress the body's digestive system which in turn causes the body to be stressed and work harder which in turn causes fluid loss instead of balance. Water should be consumed throughout the day and half your body weight in ounces will do the trick. So for example: I weigh 145 lbs. so I would want to be sure I drank 72+ ounces a day.The human body is comprised of about 80% water and if one continually dehydrates it by not drinking water and replacing water with processed drinks and stimulant type drinks we become imbalanced as a whole and this opens the door for chronic ailments. These types of symptoms can arise from continual dehydration; Irritability, brain fog, low energy,brain fog,depression,body injuries and aches,high blood pressure,constipation,excess hunger,slowed metabolism,and linked to alzheimers. This is just the short list of chronic and severe ailments that are created from dehydration.
