hydrate: The human body is 70 per cent water; adequate hydration, therefore, is essential on a daily basis. Fluids help flush out toxins and are critical to the processes of digestion, elimination and the transport of nutrients. adequate intake of water and other fluids, such as soups, coconut water, detox water and veggie juice, keeps you from overeating and improves metabolism.
The body cannot dry-clean itself—detox is wet work! but how much fluid do you need? often, you wait until you’re thirsty but, actually, thirst is not the best pointer. by the time you feel thirsty, you may already be somewhat dehydrated. When dehydrated, our brain tires, we feel less alert and more fatigued and it also interferes with sleep patterns.
you need at least 2–2.50 litres of fluid a day, depending on the weather and your activity levels. also, do not drink excessive water with your meals. It’s best to drink a glass or two of water when you wake up, and a glass an hour before and after a meal. do hydrate during periods of intense exercise. and try to see that the quality of the water you drink is good, preferably alkaline, with good mineral content. If you don’t like the taste of plain water, add lemons or ginger or herbs to make it more palatable. Water should be stored in glass or steel bottles, not in plastic ones. silver, copper and earthen vessels are also excellent ways to store water.
Caffeine: The wake-up drinks of the world, tea and coffee, give us the kick that starts the body’s engine. The caffeine in them can be useful for weight loss as they boost energy consumption and efficiency. They also contain polyphenols and minerals. but, like all good things, moderate amounts (two to four cups) are okay. Excess tea and coffee can promote water and mineral loss, as they are diuretics. They also irritate the gut lining because they contain caffeine and tannic acid.
