Energy with WATER

Most of last week and the week prior I "suffered" with the flu, a sinus infection, and an eye infection! What a combo right? Anyway here is the energy booster for this week. Drink lots of water! Before the flu kicked in I was not drinking as much as I should and for that reason the flu sure got the best of me. My nose and mouth suffered irritation from the blowing of the nose and consistent breathing through the mouth. The bathroom was frequently used as well. Dehydration can cause the body to suffer in many ways. When illness occurs lack of fluids can slow down the blood flow to organs and if let long enough can cause the body to go into shock.

Dehydration can be caused by vomiting, diarrhea, sweating and exercise. The body looses excess amounts of fluids and can cause muscle cramps and faintness. According to WebMD, dehydration is most serious for babies and older adults.

As far as the ages in between babies and older adults, we still need to be cognizant of our water intake. If your mouth feels dry, have sticky saliva, low or dark urine, or feel irritable... you may be dehydrated. Keeping your body hydrated is very serious and can cause problems in the future if not taken care of now.

For us college students, water is important because it can keep us alert when studying, prevent damages to organs, and increase our ENERGY!!! The Docs always say "you need to increase your fluid intake"... Maybe we should listen. Now that the flu has passed, my intake of water greatly helped my situation and is now consistent in my day.

... Does water actually help with Energy? I think yes is a very strong answer..

Water . . . Good or Bad... I think GOOD!
