Water Water everywhere

[Ed]

My fitness instructor, as well as personal health adviser,  encourage me to
drink at least 4 pints of water every single day.  And that is just while I
am working normally in the office and driving the car - nothing strenuous!!!
The water should be drunk regularly throughout the day.    Most people do
not drink anything like enough water in everyday life and some are very,
very close to dehydration.

If you are drinking enough, then urine will be almost colourless or very,
very pale yellow.  If it is a stronger yellow colour, then you must increase
the volume of water - but not one big sudden intake as that is no good.

When I go to the gym or go out cycling, then I have to increase the water
intake even more before, during and after the excercise.  Do not wait until
your are thirsty.

Advice of health professionals is to drink six to eight glasses of
water/day. When doing the Camino, should be more. They also say drink before
thirsty--the drink when thirsty is old folk tales. Only time to conserve is
if you're running out.
