Total Health in Midlife with Elizabeth Sherman

177: Why Do I Need to Drink Water?


Listen Later

Listen in as I guide you through the essential yet often misunderstood world of ‘hydration.’ In this conversation, I unpack why the one-size-fits-all rule of "eight glasses a day" may not hold water for everyone, and instead, I offer insights into personalizing your intake for optimal health. 

I explore the critical roles that water plays in body function, energy, digestion, and cognitive performance, while also debunking common hydration myths. You'll learn how to comfortably integrate water consumption into your daily routine and hear how this simple practice can aid in weight management, skin health, and the prevention of age-related issues.

Then, we switch gears to the practical side of things, sharing personalized strategies for upping your water intake. You'll hear from individuals like Patty, Dani, Carolee, and Jax, who've each found unique and sustainable ways to stay hydrated, from morning rituals to workplace games. I'll also share my own methods, like keeping a glass pitcher at my desk and opting for a reusable bottle outdoors, emphasizing the importance of making hydration fit naturally into your lifestyle. 

As we wrap up this session, we set the stage for the next conversation about incorporating vegetables into your diet, continuing our journey through the eight basic habits for a healthier life. So, grab a glass of water, and let's toast to your health!
