How much water do you drink per day? This is the question most doctors do not ask when you are feeling sick or lethargic, but maybe they should be. In Ageless Body, Timeless Mind, Chopra discusses the affects of dehydration; aging. He says, "When the body fluids fall below a certain level, the physiology begins to enter a toxic state; vital electrolyte balance is thrown off, and eventually so is the balance of brain chemistry. A host of difficulties can result..." Included in this list is kidney failure, heart attack, blackouts, dizziness, and lethargy.
I suppose the moral of the story is to drink enough water for your body type. It might be the exact thing you need for an ailment that's been bothering you.
So very true. Drinking enough water each day has helped many of my issues. I try to drink half my body weight (in lbs) in ounces of water each day. A bit over a hundred ounces of water has helped me feel somewhat better.
