Low body energy..

How much impact, does not drinking enough water throughout the day... have on ones energy?

Bro, just take some party pills.

Heaps

That was a good, efficient thread. Well played, everyone. *polite applause*

Gah, way to scupper my joke 14 seconds before I made it, Roman

... at work even.

funny you should say that, i have a packet in my bag right next to my desk...

Like literal? or over exaggerated "heaps" meaning a little bit, sometimes, depending on the person?

Drink some more water if you're thirsty, egg.

Also just take some party pills bro.

afaik mild dehydration fucks over anyone energy-wise. Definitely does for me

i'm never thirsty though... that's my problem.

I went from about the age of 0-16 without drinking water. Ever. I'm a medical marvel.

I think this is my problem.

I always try and drink enough water... but constantly forget.

If I don't drink water during the day, I can not function. More so when it comes to days of heavy training.

So what you get really low body energy? any other symptoms?

Low energy, headaches, blurred vision (especially if I don't drink any water after having coffee).

Knowing you it's probably just a side effect of dropping too many herbals at work.

I have a nice urine colour chart that I stole from an old workplace's toilet you can have if you want to check out your hydration levels?

it doesnt need to be water, it can be any liquid.

But not coffee or tea cos its dehydrating or energy drinks or fizz or alcomohol

Just* wotchu talking about.

Water and 'erbal teas is about it yeah?

Seriously?

Hmmmm, but i drink lots of liquid...

Yeah man, they were posted at every urinal. God bless the man that created the HR industry.

Here ya go, had a pic of it on my phone

spike, thats awesome!

3 things I didn't used to care about but will now swear by because of the last 34 days:

a) a healthy diet that you stick strictly to.
b) stretching
c) Drinking at least 2 litres of water a day (well for me anyway)

But I feel probably the best that I have ever felt in my entire life :>

So what, when you started your exercise regime did you get some side effects at first resist?

Apart from the initial constant soreness for days after, I was still eating crap, and not really getting results, went to the nutritionist, and now I am losing fat really fast and gaining muscle.

I know i should be drinking more water, but i only feel like drinking it from about 6pm onwards, and then i can skull easily 3 or 4 big glasses til i go to bed.

During the day i'll get a glass of water and put it on my desk but will hardly touch it!!

This is what i always do too.

No it can't

Static or dynamic stretching?

Static stretching is 1950s technology up there with a steak and donut sandwich topped with cigarettes

I drink 1-2 cups of water a day and have more energy than most people I know. Obviously if it's hot or I'm exercising I'll drink more, but 1-2 glasses per day is pretty standard for me.

I notice a huge difference when I drink the right amount of water. I basically drink throughout the entire day.

If you are noticing you have low energy/sleep issues etc etc you should get your B12 tested. It is common for it to be low in wheat aids victims. I have monthly B12 jabs now. Makes such a huge difference.

Yes it can. It's a myth that coffee will dehydrate you. It's very well documented on tinternet.

here's a good link.

Basically people need a certain amount of H2O a day to function, which comes from everything that you consume including coffee, tea and food (at least a third of your water should come from what you eat).

Different people need different amounts based mostly on what exercise they do as far as I know. Drinking too much can be just as bad for your health as not drinking enough.

The urine test is actually not a bad one - though you have to be careful of the berocca effect (lots of vitamins do this).

Some interesting links there TM.

Mabee, B12? i know nothing of this, i will do some research now. I have been wondering what minerals etc i should be replacing now that i don't eat gluten.

Yah. One doc told me it was common for coeliacs, and another told me it wasn't heh. I was stupidly tired (like physically couldn't keep my eyes open sometimes), grumpy, unhappy etc, but I couldn't actually sleep. I thought it must have been some mineral I was lacking in. They just do a blood test to check your level (ask them to check the intrinsic factors/pernicious anaemia at the same time to save you having to go back for another test).

Yeah i get that tired quite a lot, mostly early night time, but sometimes... especially after a big gym session, i'll get like that during the day (never used to though). So what, you have to go in to the docs for a shot every month?

wtf where did my posts go, did the old biggie eated dem?

I really noticed after the gym. I would be fine for a while and then I would have no choice but to sleep. And early evening, I would fight through the tired but then couldn't sleep later.

Yup, I go in once a month for a jab. I can def feel the difference, but the bad thing is that I also really notice it wearing off. Once your body's reserves build back up you apparently just have some vitamin thing.
