Gimmee Water Adequate Hydration In the Menopausal Man
Gimmee Water Adequate Hydration In the Menopausal Man Remember summer vacation when you
were a kid?You were out running around under that hot sun and enjoying your freedom from school to the
hilt?Remember busting into the house with a red face and perishing for a long drink of cold water! That water was
absolute nectar to your dry mouth and throat. If you dont keep yourself adequately hydrated, your whole body could
be perishing for a drink!You can feel thirst as one of out primary senses. But once you drink a few swallows of
water youre done. But are you? Your muscles may cramp, your joints may creak, your skin can parch, your brain might
go on strike, but do you recognize these as symptoms of dehydration?They can be! One of the easiest things you can
do for your body, including your male menopausal symptoms, is to drink several big glasses of fresh, pure
water.Dehydration can cause an imbalance of minerals, says Dr John R Lee, which can affect hormone balance.Getting
those hormones in balance is about Job #1for men in andropause (another word for male menopause). Your brain is 75%
water and your muscles are 60% water, in fact, your body is made up of 55 to 75% water.Drinking enough of the cold
clear stuff can help to reduce water retention (sounds wrong but isnt, if your body feels dehydrated it will store
and not eliminate water in your tissues as a survival tactic), bloating, and recurring kidney stones. Water is also
natures original #1 cure for appetite suppression; just have a glass between and before meals.Water helps to
metabolize fat, clear waste and toxins from the body, and also lowers level of histamines in the body to help
reduce allergy symptoms.It also plays a vital role in regulating body temperature, transporting nutrients and
oxygen to cells, cushioning joints and protecting organs and tissue.Thats not only a key to health, but that also
addresses a whole slew of male menopausal symptoms! A quick and easy way to figure out just how much water you need
in a day is to take your body weight and divide it by half. So if you weigh two hundred pounds you need one hundred
ounces of water a day for adequate hydration. In case youre getting a little seasick thinking about all those
glasses of water, you will be pleased to find out that there are quite a few water-rich foods that are not only
delicious but can help to hydrate you.Melons of any kind are high on the list. Take out a big slice of watermelon
on a hot sultry summer night and let the juice run down your chin and spit the seeds as far as you can.If that isnt
a prescription for the male menopause blues I dont know what is! Nearly any type of fruit and veggie has good water
content. Juices and milk as well. Just make sure that the salt or sugar content is not so high that is negates its
water value, and that the milk is low fat or skim to avoid the cholesterol.Sorry, your favorite Starbucks coffee
just wont cut it because, unfortunately, caffeine is a notorious dehydrator.
