Eat fruits and drink more water

Even on the morning of the blardy stool incident yesterday, i told myself that I MUST drink at least 1.5 litres of water. I have a Nalgene Pink 1 Litre water bottle in the office (which was with me since i started work officially after graduating with my degree) that i didn't exactly use. It was just sitting on my office table, taking up a diameter of 8cm space.

There was a time i thought of bringing it back... bringing it when i served at FOP and didn't.

So yesterday, i filled the bottle up to the 1 litre mark, and started to drink water from there.

*gulp...gulp...gulp*

And then that's where i found the blardy stools. !#$%^

But today, i'm happy. Still feel constipated, but no blardy stools. I guess drinking water has a good benefit.

One thing to note: don't overdrink water . As always, have a balance!

Drinking too much water can lead to a condition known as water intoxication and to a related problem resulting from the dilution of sodium in the body, hyponatremia. Water intoxication is most commonly seen in infants under six months of age and sometimes in athletes. A baby can get water intoxication as a result of drinking several bottles of water a day or from drinking infant formula that has been diluted too much. Athletes can also suffer from water intoxication. Athletes sweat heavily, losing both water and electrolytes. Water intoxication and hyponatremia result when a dehydrated person drinks too much water without the accompanying electrolytes

Cheers to good health!
