The Dangers of Dehydration

Activities indoors or outdoors have one equation. They both require adequate fluid intake. The experts has long been advocated to drink water at least eight glasses per day, equivalent to two liters.

The goal is that your metabolism running properly so that toxins or substances are not good in the body can be wasted through sweat and urine, as quoted from Health24.

 If someone is not drinking then it has the potential to experience dehydration. Dehydration is the condition when humans lack of body fluids. Signs of one's lack of body fluids, among others, lips, mouth and throat felt dry and thirsty, stiff and dark yellow urine when you urinate.

For you who work in offices with air conditioning, never even forgot to drink water routine.

At least you can drink at least five cups or 1.5 liters of water per day. Even though your office was cool, but the air conditioner is actually able to reduce body fluids quickly.

The room is cooled usually have dry conditions. So the body will automatically remove fluid through the pores of the skin to help keep metabolism. Not to mention if you are diligent back and forth to the bathroom to urinate.

For more activities outside the room or outdoor, in addition to drinking water, beverages containing ions are also quite important. Active body movement and exposed to hot sun, it would be a potential loss of body ions. If the ion is reduced a lot then your body will feel weak and sleepy. The concentration and productivity would be decreased.

Consume beverages containing ions sufficiently. Now many brands of bottled drinks that contain ions on the market. But remember to pay attention to it in terms of health drinks with regard abortion as well as the expiration date.

In addition to regular drinking water, maintain the condition of adequacy of fluid in the body can be done by eating enough vegetables and fruit. Fruit is very important for your health because they contain vitamins, minerals and natural anti-oxidants.

 The fruit has been proven to help heal mouth ulcer pain, aid digestion and reduce the risk of cancer.

Then look at the composition of the water with fruit when blended, at least 30 percent water and 70 percent fruit.

If you want more practical, drinking fruit juice is also good packaging. In addition to taste can be adjusted to taste, nutritional content was quite awake.

And bottled fruit juice also suitable for many of you are active outside the office or room.

Teens and Chocolate

Most teenagers admit likes chocolate. Indeed, these foods do not see the factor of age group or gender, because the benefits are quite a lot.

 Chocolate on the suspect to reduce the risk of heart attack.

 Eating a few pieces of pure chocolate every day can reduce the risk of dying from heart attacks at nearly 50% of cases. This opinion was expressed by a researcher from Johns Hopkins University School, USA. In his research revealed that the formation of blood clots / thrombus in chocolate eaters much slower than those not eating chocolate. This is of course a lot of truth because that is too large thrombus formation will lead to clogged heart arteries and can cause heart attacks.

Also disclosed that the flavanols found in cocoa beans has a biochemical effect of reducing the formation of blood clots that is similar to the workings of aspirin but the effect is certainly lower than aspirin. Some other opinions that develop in hubunganya about the usefulness of chocolate in lowering the risk of cardiovascular disease include: lowering blood pressure, reduce oxidation of LDL cholesterol, and has anti-inflammatory effects. Unfortunately it still needs further research to obtain more accurate results.

Chocolate can lower blood pressure and reduce insulin resistance. According to research conducted in Italy by comparing 15 healthy people given chocolate containing flavanols and chocolate that contain no flavanols to then observed for 15 days, found that insulin resistance (a risk factor for diabetes) in the group who ate chocolate were flavanols, very much decreased. Systolic blood pressure also decreased in this group.

Chocolate can improve arterial blood circulation.

 Healthy people who consume high cocoa flavanols according to experts who have good arterial blood circulation. Also disclosed in people who diligently consume high cocoa flavanols, the ability to relax blood vessels is very high. Of course all this is very useful for heart health.

As disclosed in the beginning, unfortunately not all the chocolate on the market contain high antioxidant flavonoids. There is only one important note to remember, that more and more content of pure chocolate in a chocolate product, the higher levels of antioxidants. Also, do not forget the calories contained in the chocolate. One hundred grams of chocolate that are sold on the market contain about 150 calories. So, all the benefits of chocolate will be gone if if other foods are consumed is also high in calories so that calorie consumption is too high. This certainly is not beneficial to your diet program.
