Drinking Adequate Water

Since childhood, we have told on multiple occasions, whether taught in school or instructed by our doctor, to drink at least eight glasses of water a day. Drinking an adequate amount of water is absolutely crucial to maintaining our body's health and preventing an array of health problems and diseases. Chronic dehydration is a condition which according to a 2013 report done by CBS, affects as many as 75% of Americans. This is due primarily in part to individuals substituting water with other, less hydrating beverages such as soda, coffee, or alcohol. The high caffeine, sodium, and sugar content in these beverages inhibit the absorption of water and are not as effective at hydrating your body as pure water. Being adequately hydrated is crucial for cancer patients in order to keep their immune system function properly and promoting the absorption of many essential vitamins. While there is a lot of debate to how much water we truly need, I usually suggest that a patient drink at least one glass when they wake up to rehydrate after their night of rest, at least a glass of water with every meal, and one to two glasses before they go to bed. Every time that you feel thirsty, reach for a glass or bottle of refreshing water. If you find the flavor of water to be bland or unpleasing, try to add fresh lemon or lime juice to it in order to enhance the flavor and get additional vitamin C. You can also substitute water with a cup of green tea which also has many additional antioxidants and has been shown to in several studies to prevent and help in the fight against cancer.
