Quench Your Diabetes with Water

It is part of the diabetes management plan to take in adequate amount of this universal solvent – water. Water is one of the best food elements we can take to keep our body healthy. Our body just needs water so badly. Just make sure you choose the good unpolluted water to take.

Water has been linked to diabetes. A diabetic person thirsts more often due to high glucose levels and water is the best way to break down sugar and quench the thirst. Water can be lost through exercise and perspiration. That’s why drinking water is vital to help physical performance and prevent fatigue.

Water is the best supplement for diabetic people since it contains no cholesterol, no fat, no caffeine and is low in sodium. Caffeine for one, is a dehydrator. Other drinks like sodas, juices and even flavored bottled water with artificial sweeteners should be avoided to prevent an increase in glucose levels. Besides, intake of acid-forming food and drinking sodas are some of the worst things one can do to his body and immune system. Acidosis or too much acid is most often associated with diabetes, cancer, arthritis, hypertension, gout acid reflux and many others.

Right water intake for everyone

Therefore, pure water should be taken most often. Bottled waters come in handy and promote consistent replenishment of fluids throughout the day. Studies revealed that diabetic patients should drink at least 64 ounces of water everyday which is about 4 glasses. This should be added to the diabetes management plan.

Drinking adequate water everyday is beneficial not only to a diabetic patient but for everyone. Water can decrease the appetite, very good to those who are trying to lose weight. The right amount of water intake helps people with diabetes maintain their health. Likewise, water helps reduce leg or ankle swelling, remove toxins in the body, prevent constipation and is good for digestion and the skin.

Choose good water

With tap or ordinary water mostly contaminated with pollution, ensure that your own share of water for intake has these properties and characteristics: alkaline, super hydrating, detoxifying, anti-oxidizing, minerals, Ph balanced and anti-aging.

Furthermore, avoid these flaws that some ordinary, commercialized water has: highly acidic, oxidizing, lack of minerals, age accelerating, toxic, not pH balanced.
