Drinking water at the correct time maximizes its effectiveness on the Human body:

[ahka]

I got this e-mail from a friend about importance of right timing to drink water.  I looked on the internet to see where it is coming from and did not find any official health/medical or research sites.  It was mostly people like I am posting it in their blogs and on some weird looking pages with a lot of ads.

The idea sounds reasonable, so I am posting it here for myself to remember and for others who didn’t know.

Drinking water at the correct time maximizes its effectiveness on the Human body:

2 glasses of water after waking up helps activate internal organs

1 glass of water 30 minutes before a meal - helps digestion

1 glass of water before taking a bath - helps lower blood pressure

1 glass of water before going to bed - avoids stroke or heart attack

To say the truth, I have noticed that drinking water in the morning really helps feel better.  Ever since I started taking my thyroid medication, it needs to be taken in the morning with a full glass of water, I started feeling more energetic  has never felt lightheaded in the morning as I used to before.  It might be the medication effect too, but I don't think it starts to work so fast...

Also, I just noticed that on some websites they said that 2 glasses of water before meal instead of in the morning.  I think if I take at least a glass that would be plenty enough, considering that I don’t drink that many glasses a day at all.

Would tea without sugar count as a cup of water?

caffeinated beverages don't count as "water"

[(Anonymous)]

That's true: caffeinated beverages don't count, because caffeine is a diuretic - it makes you pee and loose water. But non-caffeinated beverages, including teas, count towards your daily fluid requirement. Depends who you listen to, some say that non-creamy soups and milk also count.

Last week s Australian Grand Prix produced some interesting and unusual statistics here are five of the best:
Youngest field ever
The 22 drivers who qualified for Sunday s race were, on average, the youngest Formula One has ever seen.
Their average age was 27 years and 61 days, beating the previous record set in the 1997 French Grand Prix.
Esteban Gutierrez is the most junior driver in the field he was 21 years and 230 days old when he made his F1 debut on Sunday.
Seven race leaders
Seven different drivers took their turn at the head of the field in the opening race. That s a lot for a 58-lap Grand Prix in fact there have only been more than that on one other occasion in F1 history. Eight different drivers led the 1971 Italian Grand Prix at Monza.
On Sunday Sebastian Vettel, Felipe Massa, Fernando Alonso, Lewis Hamilton, Nico Rosberg, Adrian Sutil and Kimi Raikkonen all took turns in the lead.
Raikkonen equals Hakkinen
Raikkonen is poised to overtake Mika Hakkinen as the most successful Finnish driver in terms of race wins. Raikkonen s victory on Sunday tied him with Hakkinen on 20 Grand Prix victories.
However Hakkinen s two world title wins in 1998 and 1999 give him one more than 2007 champion Raikkonen.
Button hits 1,000
Jenson Button became the third driver in F1 history to reach a career points total in 1,000. Ninth place moved him up to 1,001 points.
However it s worth keeping in mind that F1 s points system has changed several times. In 2010 the value of a win was increased from 10 to 25 points.
Hulkenberg s miserable Melbourne luck
Nico Hulkenberg has entered three Australian Grands Prix but is yet to complete a racing lap. In 2010 and 2012 he was involved in crashes at the start.
He didn t even get that far this year a fuel system problem put him out before he could make it to the grid.
