Serious Health Mistakes IV

Not Drinking Water

Dehydration is extremely dangerous and one of the major causes of cancer. You probably work in a room with air conditioning and lighting. You sit in this office for up to 12 hours a day during which you do not drink water while the air conditioning and lighting work together to cause dehydration. Your body needs water for numerous processes such as excreting waste materials, regulating body temperature, performing cell functions and balancing electrolytes.
Coffee, tea, juices and alcohol are not adequate substitutes for water. You must drink quality water, at least 6-8 glasses depending on your weight. Don't take four glasses in the morning and the other four in the evening, but distribute them throughout the day. Increasing your water intake can help you prevent countless conditions and diseases such as chronic headaches and cancer. People with high blood pressure should consult a dietician before taking eight glasses of water. That is approximately 2litres of water per day.
