①The reason why I think about water intake.
This is the textbook which I actually used for Nutrition. We studied lots of area of nutrition and “water intake” is one of the main part of study. Through this unit, we did case-study which is really close to reality, made a recommended food plan for the actual athlete. I did it for Ultimate Frisbee player . I believe it is quite easy trying thinking about how much I am drinking water, also it does not cost much. That is the reason why I thought I should try it out by myself. Nowadays, I am trying drinking water 3 litters per day.
②What exactly I felt with it.
Please check the main benefit that correct water intake can make you change because I just would like to tell you the reality with my own experience thru this 6 months. If you Google it by yourself, you can find it in a second.
Firstly, I have got endurance.
I was pretty easy to get tired before I was not drinking water enough. However, after I am thinking about it, I do not feel tired much as before.
Secondly, I could get rid of Migraine.
I was quite easy to get migraine, pretty much every second day, and I noticed “oh, I have not drunk water much yet today.” after I got migraine. Now, no need to worry about migraine at all, still I get it when I cannot drink water enough… haha
How important is water for Surfing?
We are sweating even we are swimming in the water even it seems we are not sweating, because of that we do not think about drinking water much. Even we are drinking salty-water without thinking, it means our salinity concentration of body is increasing. When body is getting back it to homeostasis, we need more water. Drink water enough before surfing, it give you more energy, endurance and even increase your peak performance of your surfing session. This is comes from my own experience thru some of session with drinking water and without it.
③Recommended daily water intake as dietitian in Australia.
Why is it 3 litter?
I asked to dietitian who is called Tara who gave us a speech in a class.
The Nutrition Guru and The Chef this is the link which is her facebook page so check it if you like!
The fact the recommend daily water intake is “body wait × 0.03 litters”
So, in my case,
５８ｋｇ×０．０３＝１．７４litters
This is my needed water intake. Yes, I know it does not saying I need to drink 3 litters. Because this is the minimum border of water intake per day which is needed for daily activity, so I need to drink at least that litters.
④How I can drink much water without getting tired.
It is pretty hard to drink a lot of water than expected, also it is quite boring just drinking water. At the beginning, I was trying with 500ml of bottle but it was just hard to keep drinking with it somehow, maybe at some stage I forget that how much water I already drank. So the first strategy was change to the big bottle, such as 1.5 litters of bottle then I just need 2 bottle of water!
I am also changing taste with Lemon or Lime Juice, Apple cider vinegar, put Slice of Lemon or Lime.
The fact is that you do not have to drink water if you do not want to, such as Apple juice, coke or even cucumber are fine to intake water. But, why do we have to drink water? The reasons are “there is no calorie, easy to get it and low cost!”
Okey, so, why don’t you calculate your recommended daily water intake and drink at least that much of water for the day?
You will notice the difference and feel your body feels getting better than now!
