Water – an elixir of life and beauty

We often spend a lot of time searching in order to buy the best and exquisite beauty products that will match the needs of our skin. While a good Makeup can make us look stunning and attractive, it is essential to purify our skin from within. For this the best remedy is to drink adequate amount of water and that too, at the right time of the day.

Yes. There is something called as ‘drinking water at appropriate intervals of time’ throughout the day.

Before we get there, let’s understand how water helps to maintain a healthy skin and body –

1) Water helps in delivering essential nutrients to the skin cells. It replenishes those cells and adds moisture to the skin.

2) Water improves the elasticity of the skin and this helps in delaying the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

3) Water improves digestion and flushes out the toxins from the body. This in turn helps in keeping the skin healthy and glowing!

All right, so now we know that we must drink water for a healthy skin. But how much do we really need? We can drink gallons of water and it will most likely make us run to the bathroom every few minutes. Experts say that the color of your urine determines how well you have hydrated yourself. Different shades of the urine give us an insight into the possible healthy condition of our body. Now we don’t need to delve ourselves into studying The 50 Shades of Yellow for that! One simple trick is to check if the color of the urine appears light yellow or almost transparent. If it is so, then we are most probably having enough water intake. Dark yellow urine means you aren’t drinking enough water, unless you are on some medication or antibiotics or having vitamin-b supplements.

Most experts recommend 10 to 12 glasses (8 ounces each glass) of water every day for a good health. Here’s the best time to drink water according to Ayurveda –

1) Drink two glasses of water first thing in the morning – flushes out toxins from the body

2) Drink one glass of water before meals – helps to digest the food properly

3) Drink one glass of water before bathing – lowers blood pressure

4) Drink one glass of water 30 minutes before bedtime – reduces heart related problems

5) Never drink a lot of water immediately after meals. Wait for at least 45 minutes and ideally 1 hour after a meal. You may sip a little water if you have a dry throat or feel too thirsty before those 45 minutes.

6) It is best to drink water that is at the room temperature. Warm water is still better. Sipping warm water during meals aids in pushing down the food smoothly. Also having any hot soup helps.

7) Do not chug a lot of water at once. Keep sipping it throughout the day.

8) Remember: Sip – Swallow – Breathe – Repeat!
