  不论正在准备一份食谱,还是正在考虑为自己定一个健康饮食计划,你都应该确定已经把每天和每次的正确饮水量考虑在内了。只有每天摄入适量的水,才能保证从每日所食各种食物中获取到其营养。实际上,如果每天缺少饮水的话,一个人将不可能养成稳固的健康饮食习惯。
  总之,如果你正致力于减轻体重并期望长久地享受健康生活,那么你就要注意自己饮食的内容与方式,特别是饮水方面。

  水是生命之源
  我们先来关注一下人体的组成。绝大多数科学家都认为人体是由90%以上的水构成的。众所周知,水是生命之源,它是使地球上人类能够生息不已的最重要的元素。
  从骨骼到肌肉,人身体内的每一个器官和组织都依靠足够的水来维持正常运转。然而糟糕的是,如今在许多国家,很多人每天没有饮用足够的水,从而无法完成体内的水合过程。人体若缺少必要的水合过程,也就是说没有吸收足够的水分,将会导致永久性的严重后果。

  喝多少水才算够
  我们大家都听说过这样的饮水建议,就是每人每天应该喝八杯8盎司玻璃杯那么多的水。老实讲,这的确是个有用的建议。如果一个人真的能够按照这个建议做的话,他/她或许能体会到自己健康的改善。(但大多数的人实际上每天都没有喝这么多的水。)
  实际上,当问到每天饮用多少水才合适时,我们都应清楚每天饮用八杯水是保持健康的最基本饮水量。也就是说,每位成年人(包括青少年)每天至少应喝八杯水。
  但是,对许多人来说,每天八杯水实际上并不够。例如,一个体重超过160磅的人,他/她需要喝更多是水来保持身体正常运转。从逻辑与科学上讲,更大的体型当然需要更多的水,这样才能保证人体有效、健康地运转。
  许多专家建议,除了每天喝八杯水的方法外,一个体重超过160磅的人每天饮水应该是他/她体重数一半的盎司当量。例如,一个体重200磅的人每天应饮用100盎司的水。这相当于大约十二杯半标准玻璃杯的量,远超过了那个被认为是保持健康底线的每天八杯水的水量。
  另外,如果你酷爱体育运动,那么你就应该补充更多的水来补偿每天艰苦锻炼所耗失掉的水分。

  If you are contemplating a diet — if you are considering a healthy eating plan for your life — you need to make certain that you include drinking the proper amount each and every day in the calculation. Without ingesting an appropriate amount of water on a daily basis you will never be able to obtain the full benefits of any sort of diet. Indeed, in the absence of the right quantity of water each day, you really will not have established a solid healthy eating program for your life.

  In the final analysis if you truly are interested in not only losing weight and keeping weight off but also in living a long, enjoyable and healthy life, you need to pay attention to what and how you eat — and drink.

   The Essentials of Water

  In considering the makeup of the typical human body, most scientists agree that it is comprised of upwards to ninety percent water. Indeed, water is the most significant component making up the body of every human being living and breathing on planet Earth.

  Every organ and other structure within the human body from bones to muscles depend upon a plentiful supply of water to function appropriately. Sadly, in this day and age, most people in most countries around the world simply do not drink enough water each day to properly hydrate the body. The lack of proper hydration — the failure to ingest enough water — actually can have dire and lasting consequences for a typical human being.

  How Much is Just Enough Water

  Many people bandy around the suggestion that a person should drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water each and every day. On some level this truly is a useful suggestion. Indeed, if a person actually did drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water each and every day, he or she likely would see an improvement in his or her health. (Most people simply do not consume this much water on a daily basis.)

  In reality, when it comes to the proper amount of water to drink on a daily basis, a person would be wise to think of the eight 8-ounce glass goal to be the baseline for healthy consumption. In other words, every adult (and teenage children) should ingest eight glasses of water daily.

  However, for many people the eight 8-ounce glasses of water daily goal simply is not enough. For example, if a person weighs more than 160 pounds, he or she will need to consume more water on a daily basis to satisfy the operational needs of his or her body. Logically and scientifically, a larger body needs more water to operate and run in an efficient and healthy manner.

  Many experts suggest that beyond the base amount of eight 8-ounce glasses a day, a person who weighs in at over 160 pounds should divide his or her gross weight in half and drink that many ounces of water each and every day. For example, if a person weighs in at 200 pounds, he or she should drink 100 ounces of water a day. That would equate to about twelve and half standard glasses of water in day rather than the eight glasses which should be considered a consumption threshold for all healthy people.

  In addition, if a person is physically active, he or she will need to consume an extra amount of water to make up for what is lost through rigorous exercise.
