How much water does your body needs?

Mine is 1.5 liters according to the body mass I have. That is considering my height and weight. But that is too much for me especially when it's wet season but 1 liter for me during dry season is enough. I am not a water lover actually and I used to drink only when thirsty but over time I have changed.  Why? because I have discovered the wonders of water.  I have this back pains and drinking water relieves me. And one liter is enough for me.  You, how much water does your body needs?

My drinking water habit

Yes I still have acidity in my stomach but pretty careful this time.  I avoid drinks that are acidic. I do not drink soft drink especially the cola types (my apology to my friends who works for Coke and Pepsi). I totally avoided juices, unless it's pure (no water, no sugar nor salt.). I drink iced tea but not much.  I go for hot tea, milk and chocolate. On occasions I eat meat but not much and I drink seven up or sprite moderately afterwards. And I am trying to drink plenty of water these days as I tend to forget it unless I am very thirsty.  I required myself to drink one liter a day but there are moments that it really bothers me. Why, because the trips to the toilets have increased its frequency. I only drink water when I am sure to stay at one place the whole day, because I travel a lot I do not drink water religiously.

My addiction

My mother was a school teacher and being the youngest I was tucked along. But not when I was still a toddler. She left me with the care of some nanny in my father's stepmother's household. Whenever she arrived home from school she would noticed that the baby, that was me, smelled tuba.  She would find out later that my nanny, being a sweet tuba drinker let the toddler drink it too.


I may not have a proof that this is somehow connected to my addiction later on of the smell of the vinegar and the vinegar itself then but I am pretty sure that vinegar causes acidity in my stomach.

Stomach acidity

Over the years I have to rediscover why I have stomach acidity. In my young years I got addicted to the smell of vinegar, the one which is the finish product of coconut. Every time I ran errands for vinegar in the neighborhood I took one sip before reaching our kitchen. Little did I know it was the cause of my stomach acidity.  And again over the years I have to uncover why I was addicted to that vinegar and the smell of it.

Let's live a healthy life

Let us live a healthy life.  Why am I advocating health? Simple, health is wealth. I was a sickly child. I easily got colds, fever and flu and I always vomit whenever I travel long on a bus. I remember always having a stomach ache and couldn't figure out what went wrong.  There were times that I have to excuse myself from my grade school class because my stomach ached and I rushed home to emote.  Then in college anti acids were introduced to me so I started taking them.  Yes them because I have an enumeration of the anti acids in the world.  Kremil S, Creamalin, Nuvalucid, Mylanta, etc. They relieved me somehow and I can even say it helped me. Before I always have anti acid wherever I go and some relief ointments just incase my stomach aches along the way. But now I rarely have these items in my handbag. I can say now that my health has improved and a great factor because I can travel long comfortably as my job entails traveling . Now my health is my wealth.
