Drink
Being well hydrated is vitally important for you to function at your best. So how much water is enough? According to Dr. F. Batmanghelidj in his book
Your Body's Many Cries For Water, you can calculate the amount of pure filtered water you need daily by taking your bodyweight in pounds and dividing it by two. That will tell you how many ounces of water you need a day to keep your cells functioning optimally. (Weight in kilograms X 0.33 = litres per day.) You may find it helpful to measure your water, or find some way of keeping track of how much you are drinking when you are trying to create this new habit. Juice, soda, and caffeinated beverages do not count, as they are dehydrating to your system. If your urine is clear to very pale yellow, you are well hydrated. Congratulations!
