HYDRATION: ‘Cool’ Choices by Leslie Girmscheid, MD
Staying hydrated is important, yet experts continue to debate whether a person needs the oft recommended “eight 8-ounce glasses of water” a day. Beauty consultants claim that skin benefits from drinking this amount. Massage therapists talk about muscles needing more fluids when working out to be able to “flush toxins away.” Yet, medical professionals declare that a defined quantity is irrelevant and that the body gets ample water from the foods we eat.
With my background as a massage therapist and physician, I consider water to be your body’s lubricant. My recommendation is to drink enough so your urine is a light yellow color. Darker, and you need to drink more water and if pale yellow to clear, you can cut back. Vague symptoms may result from dehydration such as feeling out of sorts or woozy, slightly headachy, or even hungry more than thirsty. Moreover, you are more likely to experience a rapid heart rate with exertion when dehydrated.
Water is the obvious and best choice for hydration. Tap water has a “neutral” thermal quality, but mineral water is “cool.” Mineral water is bottled from a natural source, may be naturally carbonated or still, and contains a mix of minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and zinc as well as sodium and potassium. Club soda is water with artificially added carbonation and mineral salts like sodium bicarbonate while seltzer is water with only added carbonation.
Teas also lend flavor to water. You can drink them hot in the winter or cold in the summer. Green and white teas are “cool” and black tea is “neutral.” Good— and more common — herbal choices for hot flash sufferers are the “cold” lemon balm and “cool” chamomile, peppermint, and rose-hip teas. More exotic choices are chrysanthemum & unroasted dandelion root and nettle & raspberry leaf teas.
