Just a warning for all you peeps to keep up the WATER intake in this weather? Not joking here we dont drink enough of it, and ned to have about two litres a day. The body suffers greatly when we dont drink enough, with headaches, hunger and all sorts of ailments. BOOZE unfortunately drys the body out, and little is best...DOH
I just thought if you were interested enough, and you were feeling a bit under the weather, it may help you. It has me, and wanted to share....

Dehydration
I think coffee is full of caffiene and makes you thirsty... maybe I am wrong here. decafe' may be ok, but I think the idea is that the water also purifies the system and escapes as urine and cleans the organs inside. I struggle with that much, and seldom have it that much but I do try. I find filtered water from the tap using a brita filter makes excellent tasting water and it seems nicer.

I knew that really
. I do encourage the kids to develop the good habits I ddn`t. I tell them if they use water to wash the outside of their bodies, it makes sense to do the same for the inside.Venusxxx
I think as guys it is easy, but not maybe nice to say, to notice if you have issues with toxins. That is why guys urine is often discoloured so much with the bad stuff coming out. When it is almost clear all the time, you are in efect passing pure water, and like a clean out of the houses radiators you realise how much CRAP you have inside you!

Fizzy drinks, full of sugar are a real no go area. Sugar can also dehydrate the body if taken in large quantities. A report I saw recently said that some kids because of their lifestyle, poor diet etc, are taking up to 70 spoonfuls of sugar a day.
That's easy if you think that a Mars bar has the equivalent of (I think) 12 spoonfuls of sugar in it
If you really want to be into looking at things like fizzy drinks and chocolate, they are made to encourage you to want more...like a drug! The dentist says kids are ok to drink diet fizzy drinks BUT to use a straw to stop them swilling the sugar around their teeth. And several sweets are ok each day, but split up...not all in one go!
Oooooooooooh, I like Mar`s bar 
:bounce:
Tis true about the kids, but to be honest I find it so much easier to keep chopped fruit and salads (pasta, rice, and potato salads) in the fridge, especially over the holidays. Saves me cooking, I take handfuls of stuff from each tupperware pot, put some crisps on the side, and bingo, fed! :D
Biscuits etc don`t last 5 minutes, tooooooooo expensive!

Have you tried making your own crisps? they often are better because not laced with salt and god knows what in colours and flavours. Oh by the way I am NOT heavily into the health issue regarding food, but totally agree to help kids to keep off the crap!
I have in the past just to give it a go, but with so many of us I`d never keep up with the demand (although I rarely let them have more than one pack a day it`s still a lot of crisps) I just try to keep a healthy balance between junk food and healthy food. We are not a junk free zone, but neither are my kids unhealthy. I do get that you are not pushing a junk free opinion
, just a little good sense!Venusxxx

I drink two litres of diet coke a day. Does that count? 
Blue,
I'm afraid that diet coke still contains caffeine, which is a diuretic, so it probably doesn't do you too much good in keeping you hydrated.
A good tip for a sunny holiday - buy some rehydration salts from your local chemist before you go - if you start feeling a bit washed out after a few days, it's probably because you've lost too many salts due to sweating - so as well as replacing all the water you lose through sweating, you should also replace the salts you've lost as well with the rehydration salts - the rehydration salts can give you quite a lift because you are putting back into your body the salts that are used to keep your brain active...
...but then I don't tend to use my brain on holiday anyway...

I always drink lots of water. I need too what with the the amount to alchohol I put into my system.
It always amazes me when people don't drink enough water...can't understand that! Nothing more refeshing than a nice glass of mineral water.
I do drink lots of tap water mind you but it does seem to taste of chlorine. Wonder what other crap they put in it?

On the point about kids & drinks .. if you have children who can be or are hyper active then do check the level of pop they are drinking.
Nearly all the drinks for kids, contain aspartame. This is a seriously nasty product ans has proven links to cancers and ADHD etc. and yet it is licenced to add to drinks. Next time you go to the shops and buy pop just try and find one without aspartame in - trust me it's near on impossible.
Makes me so angry and yet no-one seems interested.

The kids at my school are definitely getting worse. But that could be to do with the bloody coke vending machines and sweet machines dotted about the place.
I think the school should get rid of them, and so do the rest of the staff, but the management say they save the school £30000 a year.
As parents, if your school has them, then you should lobby them to remove the things or change them into dispensing decent food. It has been proved that ADHD can be controlled by giving kids proper food and not allowing them to eat that crap.
Remember if another child has ADHD, your child's learning will be affected.
Youy may have noticed, this is a particular bug bear with me.

You're right about the straw Rocky, but my daughter really loves her sweets. Our dentist recommended that if she must have sweets then she should perhaps have a bar of chocolate after her tea rather than a few sweets spread out during the day. If they have them in one go all the sugar is concentrated in one time whereas a few sweets spread out during the day means that their teeth are more or less constantly covered in sugar and therefore there is far more time for any damage to occur. It does seem to have helped as well

Aaaaha - opportunity for a reverse hi-jack here!!!!
I went in to work this morning full of good intentions to follow Rocky's advice and drink lots of water - 'specially as a certain little lady, who forces me to drink a lot, is away.
Went up to the water fountain - what'd I get out of the tap?? Yellow stuff - not sure what it was - OUT OF ORDER for the rest of the day. Made up for it tonight though - mixture of red wine and water (can't you tell??)

One word of warning about drinking a lot of water... the drinking should be spread out, and sipping little and often is preferable with each glass.
If you drink the whole lot in one go it is possible to cause "drowning," not in the usual sence, but a high intage of water (especially if you are a recreational drug user with certian drugs) can wash the hydrolites (salts) from the blood and cause the lungs to fill with mucus...
You can buy re-hydration sachetts... but the home made version is 1 table spoon of sugar and 1/2 tea spoon of salt in 2/3rds a pint of water.
