My family has all been battling sinus trouble for the past week or so, so I've really been trying to get them to drink more water to just help things along.
Then I found the WaterCure website when I reading blogs this morning and found some interesting information on it. I was amazed when I read that we lose about 3-4 liters of water a day. Egads, I bet a lot of us are walking around dehydrated. In fact, here's what it says about how much water we should be drinking a day:
To better determine how much water you need each day, divide your body weight in half. The answer is the approximate number of water ounces you should drink daily. You should drink half of your body weight in ounces. If you weight 200 pounds, you should drink 100 ounces water (3.13 quarts, 2.98 liters or about 10-12 cups of water a day). If you weigh closer to 100 pounds you will need only about 50 ounces of water or about four 12-ounce glasses daily. Individuals who are physically active or live in hot climates may needs to drink more.
And then a friend reminded me of MommyLife's suggestion to start off each day with fresh lemon in warm water.
Then I decided to check the WellTellMe website. There are TONS of suggestions for sinus problems on there!
Seems like lots of folks in our area are battling sinus issues right now. How bout you all? Do any of you have any good tips for dealing with sinus trouble? |
