From the Dietitian's Desk
Written by amit123
The human body is made up of 50-75% water. An average person loses about 2 ½ quarts of water throughout the day. For adequate hydration, men should consume about 13 cups of water daily and women about 9 cups. Fluid needs will increase with physical activity, heat and humidity.
Adequate water intake is essential for proper body function. Water functions to moisten tissues such as those in the mouth, eyes and nose; regulates body temperature; lubricates joints; protects body organs and tissues; lessens the burden on the kidneys and liver by flushing out waste products; and keeps skin healthy and looking good.
Water is the ideal beverage choice in a healthy diet. It is pure, refreshing and calorie free. To incorporate water into your daily routine follow these tips:
· Take a drink every time you pass the water fountain.
· Keep water with you at your desk or in the car to sip on throughout the day.
· Instead of a coffee break, take a water break.
· Drink sparkling water with a squeeze of lemon at social settings.
· And of course have water with meals.
For variety, try making your own flavored water. Add a twist of citrus or your favorite herb for a new flavor. Try these interesting combinations: lemon and thyme; lemon and rosemary; orange and lime; cucumber and thyme.
Keep in mind that water comes from many foods that we eat. It has been suggested that eating foods high in water content can help dieters by increasing the fullness factor. Foods that incorporate water tend to look larger. The higher volume of these foods provides greater oral stimulation. Also, when water is bound to food, it slows down absorption and lasts longer in the belly. Examples of foods high in water content include (but are not limited to): lettuce, watermelon, broccoli, grapefruit, milk, carrots, yogurt and apples.
What’s for Super
Try this mixed apple salad for a real treat! Your taste buds will thank you! Notice the main ingredients are foods that contain high water content, giving you plenty to chew on and hopefully leaving you full and satisfied.
