Of course, there can be other aspects to an ideal lifestyle depending on your personality and what is important to you. You can personalize your lifestyle as per your needs.

But these are the 11 aspects that affect us all.

How I Make Sure I Drink Enough Water

A well-hydrated body is a well-functioning body. But drinking enough water is something most people struggle with. So, here are 5 easy ways I use to ensure hydration.

how to make sure you drink enough water
It's Your Responsibililty to Provide Right Hydration to Your Body

I want you to think about this for a moment: How much water did you consume today?

Can you recall?

No?

Did you drink water at all?

Well, if not, then you belong to the majority. Not good.

But don't feel bad either. We are on the same page.

Water is extremely essential for us; everyone knows this. Yet, most of us are not even aware of how much water we are drinking, which is not much, I must add.

Not drinking enough water means that you are jeopardizing your metabolism and your overall health, and also letting toxins stay in your system for a longer amount of time. Again, not good!

How Much Water Should You Drink Every Day

How much water should you drink every day?

This indeed is one of the most commonly asked questions when we discuss water in terms of health benefits.

Let me just start by saying that we are 60% water. So, I think from this statement we can conclude that water is extremely essential for us. Every single cell of our body contains a huge amount of H2O, that enable them to function normally. Proper hydration is essential for their proper functioning.

We are aware that water is essential, and so if you are someone who cares about your health and want to add more water to your system, then this is a question that you must have asked yourself at some point that how much water should you drink in order to maintain hydration level that will maintain and improve your bodily functions, because it's good to know what your goal is, in order to perform well. Right?

Let me just quickly add in here that I am taking a 30 days water challenge, in which I decided that I would drink at least 8 glasses of water for the next 30 days, and I am taking the opportunity here to bring about awareness about water.

Although I started with 8 glasses, I have now modified my daily intake based on a different calculation method, using which you can calculate your water intake which is more appropriate for you.

Today I'm going to share that method of water requirement calculation that I have used to modify my intake. But before that, I would like to discuss a few concepts regarding water and water consumption, because while researching I found some information that I think was not 100% right, and I would like to address those things here first.

8 Common Signs of Stress on Your Body


8 Common Signs of Stress on Your Body
Stress Can Really Mess Up Your Life. Learn to Identify the Signs your Body is Telling Your About Stress.

Stress affects us, and not in a good way. We all know this, but there's hardly anything most of us do about it.

Unfortunately, stress has become a part of our lives. It has integrated into our lives so well that it seems like a normal thing that we have to deal every day like any other task, when, in fact, it's not.

For most of us, juggling exams, job, kids, or personal relationships together is proving to be extremely stressful in the modern world.

Stress is a natural response of our body that helps us figure out the danger. It's stress that basically gets the work done.

But it becomes a problem when stress goes out of control, and starts to consume our lives.

Our brain and body are great at adjusting as per the environment. That's why we get accustomed to the stress we experience every day, and are able to handle even very high levels of stress.

But just because you handle high levels of stress on a daily basis effortlessly, that doesn't mean that the stress is not affecting your body.

When it gets out of control, stress comes out in other forms. These "forms" can take the shape of a mental illness like depression, or physical illnesses, like joint pain, and even heart diseases.

Major illnesses occur when you are chronically affected by stress. But there are simpler signs that occur when stress is just beginning to crawl into our lives. The thing is, we often ignore these signs, or don't realize that it's because of stress.

The key is to identify these early signs and take action right from the beginning.

Here are some of the most common signs of stress that you need to look out for.
