Depending on the article quoted, there are reports that anywhere between 50%-80% of all American Humans do not drink enough water each day.\u00a0 Which means that those two-hundred pennies have a strong chance of remaining in my pocket.\u00a0 Weighing me down.\u00a0 Uneven on one side, making one leg drag and destroying the OCD part of my brain that requires evenness at all times in every aspect.<\/p>\n<p>Where was I?\u00a0 Oh yes.\u00a0 Water consumption.\u00a0 Right.<\/p>\n<p>Why in the (mostly water-covered) world is this the topic this week?\u00a0 Partly because it popped into my head as a shower thought and I don&#8217;t have any filters, and partly because &#8230; actually &#8230; it&#8217;s not a bad thing to talk about where healthy stuffs are concerned.\u00a0 Let&#8217;s dive (HAHEHAHAEHEAHE!!) into it.<\/p>\n<h2>Water we talking about here exactly?<\/h2>\n<p>In my resolve to be resolute in my resolutions,\u00a0 I have vowed that more water will be consumed every day this year. There are a small handful of reasons for this:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Water is good for you<\/li>\n<li>It keeps you hydrated<\/li>\n<li>People who use their voice to do stuff and things need water to keep vocal folds from getting dry and crusty<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Most of this tracks.\u00a0 The human body is comprised of roughly 60% water, 40% cantankerous snark, and 2% mathematical fallacy.\u00a0 As such, hydration is supremely important.<\/p>\n<h2>Why is proper hydration so important?<\/h2>\n<p>Because.<\/p>\n<p>DUH.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, real answers.\u00a0 Right.<\/p>\n<p>It is vital to every fa(u)cet of our existence.\u00a0 According to this link at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC2908954\/\">National Institute of Health<\/a>, water consumption the key to continue to life.\u00a0 Continuing to life is the only way to not break Rule #1, which is: &#8220;Don&#8217;t Death.&#8221;\u00a0 The human body can only survive roughly 3 days without water intake.\u00a0 Which is shorter than it can survive without food consumption (~7 days) or longer without smart phone usage (~73 seconds).<\/p>\n<p>By the by. That NIH article is <em>super<\/em> interesting.\u00a0 It is full of words*, yes, and probably more words than this blog.\u00a0 It is probably fewer words than Someone Angry on the Internet somewhere, tho9ugh so really it&#8217;s a win for everybody if you read up on water health and maybe skip the rage-filled tirade.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But George &#8211; IF THAT IS YOUR REAL NAME -,&#8221; you&#8217;re saying, &#8220;I drink coffee and\/or tea every morning, several times a day, and in the evening right before not being able to sleep.\u00a0 That&#8217;s so much water it&#8217;s causing a drought somewhere.&#8221;\u00a0 Seems like that would be the case, wouldn&#8217;t it?\u00a0 In a sense, there is some truth to that.\u00a0 It was once argued that coffee and tea were wildly dehydrating and doing more harm than good, yet more recent studies have shown that our previous knowledge on the subject was a bit off base. Yes, I&#8217;ll explain, and yes George is my real name.<\/p>\n<p>While caffeine is reported to have a diuretic effect, those recent studies have shown that the effect is minimal.\u00a0 If <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/healthy-lifestyle\/nutrition-and-healthy-eating\/expert-answers\/caffeinated-drinks\/faq-20057965\">The Mayo Clinic<\/a> is on board the coffee train, then I feel less guilty about it.\u00a0 There&#8217;s another psychological side to this though, and that&#8217;s <em>quantity.<\/em>\u00a0 Going under the next header because SEO demands shorter sections.<\/p>\n<h6>*Seriously. It&#8217;s super long.\u00a0 It needs a narrated version.\u00a0 I know a guy.\u00a0 I even know a few gals.\u00a0 If you&#8217;re someone at the NIH reading this, call me.<\/h6>\n<h2>How much water is enough?<\/h2>\n<p>There are &#8230; opinions on the subject.\u00a0 For the moment, I defer to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/healthy-lifestyle\/nutrition-and-healthy-eating\/in-depth\/water\/art-20044256\">Mayo Clinic<\/a> again as a resource for expertise more vast than anything I offer. By and large, women need to bring in 2.7 liters per day and men 3.7 liters a day.\u00a0 So.\u00a0 Unless you&#8217;re drinking a gallon&#8217;s worth of coffee in the morning, your daily intake might be running a bit short.\u00a0 Some benchmarks indicate that the goal should be 8 cups of water per day.\u00a0 Is that the right amount?\u00a0 Probably close enough in the previously mentioned article.\u00a0 It&#8217;s a good goal and comes in a manageable format.\u00a0 We humans like easily manageable tasks during our complicated days.\u00a0 8 8oz cups of water in total throughout the course of a day is not as difficult as, say, trying to drink a gallon of water 5 minutes before going to a kung-fu class in your 20s to &#8220;stay hydrated.&#8221;\u00a0 And wondering why your stomach is unhappy about it.\u00a0 And whenever you throw a kick the entire class can hear the sloshing sound.\u00a0 And you look around with everyone else to where the sound is coming from but you know full well it&#8217;s you.\u00a0 This may or may not be a true story.<\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t mind me getting a biiiiiiiiiit on the bodily fluids train for a moment (that just sounds &#8230; wrong &#8230;..), proper hydration can be visually inspected based on urine color (ew, David).\u00a0 The more dark yellow, the more concentrated and less hydrated.\u00a0 The clearer, the better.<\/p>\n<h2>and how much is too much?<\/h2>\n<p>To answer the question of &#8220;How much is too much,&#8221; it&#8217;s complicated.\u00a0 A rare condition referred to as &#8220;water intoxication&#8221; can take place in the event of drinking far too much water in a single setting.\u00a0 Trying to slam 2-3 liters in an hour or two on the regular is a good way to tempt fate on that front. It&#8217;s difficult to say whether or not the odds are that you will experience water intoxication after that level of consumption in short amounts of time.\u00a0 It&#8217;s also probably not worth the risk.\u00a0 Additionally, drinking that much water in a short amount of time feels awful.\u00a0 Please see kung-fu story from above.<\/p>\n<p>Something else to keep in mind: if you are an athlete, you are likely going to need more fluid intake than the average desk jockey.\u00a0 Also if you&#8217;re an athlete, you are not <em>entirely likely <\/em>to be reading this anyway because you&#8217;re out there &#8230; athleting like a boss.<\/p>\n<h2>Chronic Condition specifics to keep in mind<\/h2>\n<p>Other health considerations to take into account: individuals with congestive heart failure and kidney disease must be extremely careful about the amount of fluid intake in a day.\u00a0 If you are reading this and haven&#8217;t had a conversation with your physician about recommended fluid intake, please schedule an appointment to do so.\u00a0 You have a challenging balance to maintain and having expert advice is vital.\u00a0 I am not that expert.<\/p>\n<h2>Common (and not so common) side effects of dehydration<\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re just not getting as much water as necessary on a given day or two, you may experience uncomfortable moods, exhaustion, excessive thirst, muscle pains, and maybe light headaches.\u00a0 Chronic dehydration can result in dry skin, rashes, ongoing and constant fatigue, blistering headaches, and everyone&#8217;s favorite passtime: Constipation!<\/p>\n<p>Any one of those experiences are probably worth an extra cup or two a day of water to just avoid it. Additionally, if you believe that you show symptoms of chronic dehydration, it&#8217;s time for a visit with a medical expert.\u00a0 Ongoing and uncorrected dehydration can lead to a variety of Really Bad Things.\u00a0 Like early onset dementia, decreased kidney function, kidney stones, hypertension, and other things that lead to direct violations of Rule #1.<\/p>\n<h2>Who benefits from appropriate water consumption?<\/h2>\n<p>If people spent as much time consuming water as they &#8220;consumed content&#8221; &#8211; that&#8217;s the In Thing that everyone talks about, and technically I&#8217;m a raging hypocrite because blah(g)s are categorized as content so we&#8217;re just going to zip over that part &#8211; then there would be no reason to write this post; water consumption would be at record high rates.\u00a0 Restroom facility utilization would also be at record high rates, which would mean more construction which would mean more jobs.\u00a0 Everybody wins!<\/p>\n<p>Aside from the fact that <em>everyone<\/em> benefits from staying properly hydrated, here are a few specific categories of folks who benefit from making sure there&#8217;s enough liquid surging through the pores:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Singers<\/li>\n<li>People who speak <em>ever<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Sportmongers<\/li>\n<li><em>Voice Actors<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Motor Vehicle Repair Technicians<\/li>\n<li>Authors<\/li>\n<li>Hyporites<\/li>\n<li>Stuffed Animal Stuffers (paradoxical warning: not the actual stuffed animals)<\/li>\n<li>The Toothsmith<\/li>\n<li>Carl<\/li>\n<li>That dog next door that barks all night<\/li>\n<li>Nickelback<\/li>\n<li>Church mice<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So I got a bit carried away, but you get my point.\u00a0 <em>Everyone<\/em> benefits from proper water intake.\u00a0 I have a nasty habit of focusing on people who do things with their voices on the regular.\u00a0 Voice actors, sports announcers, teachers, singers, my daughter upstairs singing loudly long after bedtime, anyone who relies on the consistent use of their voice is in a position where proper hydration is absolutely crucial to ongoing vocal longevity.\u00a0 There&#8217;s another component where posture is concerned, but that&#8217;s another post for another time.<\/p>\n<h2>A note regarding global water availability<\/h2>\n<p>It would be foolish to not include a section on availability of water to the global population.\u00a0 97% of the water on our planet is salt water.\u00a0 Virtually undrinkable in its present form.\u00a0 The remaining 3% is fresh water, of which 1% we have access to.\u00a0 The rest is locked up in icebergs, glaciers, ice caps, soil, the atmosphere, is polluted, or too deep to efficiently\/inexpensively dig to find.\u00a0 According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldwildlife.org\/threats\/water-scarcity\">World Wildlife Federation<\/a>, 1.1 billion people do not have access to water and another 2.7 billion find water scarce for at least one month per year.\u00a0 So yes, this blog entry is describing an extremely first-world problem that we face as a self-inflicted wound.<\/p>\n<p>The process of &#8220;Desalinization&#8221; &#8211; converting salt water into fresh water &#8211; becomes more and more efficient with each passing year as new technologies are developed.\u00a0 There is hope that these methods will help solve this ongoing challenge to our global community.<\/p>\n<h2>Rain it in<\/h2>\n<p>So the TL;DR version is: you&#8217;re<em> most likely<\/em> not drinking enough water per day.\u00a0 Drink more water per day.\u00a0 You&#8217;ll thank me later.\u00a0 Or not.\u00a0 This isn&#8217;t about me.\u00a0 This is about you.\u00a0 You&#8217;ll thank <em>you<\/em> later.\u00a0 So say we all.<\/p>\n<p>-= george =-<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8211; Or: How Hydro means more than just cheap electricity [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[72,71,69,70,68],"class_list":["post-342","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-general","tag-benefits","tag-dehydration","tag-health","tag-hydration","tag-water"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Importance of Water for we Mere Mortals - George Nowik - Voice Actor<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"We need water more than we need pizza.
