Amount of water you should drink per day

Sometimes, one is not sure how much water to drink in a day. In my view this is what I think should be the amount. Similar principle of everything in moderation is ok if you are otherwise well.

For a normal adult about 8 cups of water is sufficient. Each cup is 200mls, that makes 1600mls of water per day. 1.5 to 2 litres per day is adequate. If you sweat a lot or exercise or have a fever or if weather is too hot, you are having diarrhoea etc, then you need to drink more. Normal kidneys have a capacity to retain or excrete water from our system to maintain normal levels of salts in the blood (electrolytes). However, drinking too much water in some may rarely lead to 'water intoxication' as the kidneys have a limit to how much water it can tackle. If you need to drink more water, you will feel thirsty and urine will be high coloured and concentrated, even you may feel a burning sensation when passing water. On drinking water the colour of urine will return to normal. Feeling very thirsty and passing too much water may be a symptom of diabetes or high serum calcium. If serum sodium ( a salt in blood) is low, sometimes doctors restrict water intake to, say, 1 litre per day till the sodium level return to normal.
I feel, you don't need to purify the water further in the UK. You can drink tap water without any problem. Read more about healthy lifestyle at ideaas.eu.

Hypertension diagnosis and management withABPM

In my opinion high blood pressure can be better managed with Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitor (ABPM) than conventional manual measurement method.

Clinic blood preasure measurements, done manually, which at present are used to diagnose hypertension, are likely to give false positive and false negative results in any patient as there are intra and interobserver variation and other factors.

Manual blood pressure recording has the following difficulties:

>Observer variation – the reading varies when same person checks blood pressure (BP) at different times (intra observer variation). It varies with person to person measuring BP (interobserver variation).

>Phase IV (muffling of sound) or phase`V (disappearance of sound) of Korotkoff sound as distolic pressure. Some use phase IV and some use phase V

>Tendancy to take the rounded up figure, e.g. if it is 138mm we may call it 140mm.

>White coat effect – BP rises initially because of anxiety.

Know about high blood pressure

High blood pressure (hypertension) silently damages various organs.

Basic mechanism of damage is – accelerates the process of atherosclerosis and damages the heart.

How heart is damaged – Heart has to pump harder, so it hypertrophies first (like bodybuilders build there muscles by exercising). After a while, the heart cannot cope anymore (heart failure), gives rise to congestion and accumulation of fluid in the lungs causing breathlessness. This is left ventricular failure (left heart failure). Later right ventricle also fails, giving rise to congestive cardiac failure – manifested by ankle oedema, enlarged tender liver and raised JVP (Jugular Venous Pressure).

High BP can cause haemorrhagic stroke (bleeding into the brain – cerebral haemorrhage). Atherosclerosis causes ischaemic stroke (cerebral infarction) and heart attack (myocardial infarction). Eyes can be damaged due to hypertensive retinopathy.

So, it is important to do something about high blood pressure - read  High blood pressure at ideaas.eu

Promoting health benefit of alcohol may be counter productive

In my opinion, health benefits of alcohol consumption should not be promoted and it can be counter productive.
Although alcohol in moderation is accepted as a part of healthy lifestylyle, there is a risk of a social and health drinkers sleep-walking into alcohol dependence. Not everyone has the will power to stop on time and stick to a healthy amount of alcohol intake. Read alcoholism to find out about alcohol problem and how you can detect a drinks problem early.

Let us all stop smoking

If I had the power, I would ban smoking altogether. Smokers must be happy that I don't have that power.
Everything in moderation is acceptable as a part of healthy lifestyle in a normal person, except smoking. because it does not provide any health benefit.
There is nothing guaranteed in life except the fact that we are all going to die one day. Even if we don't have any disease, still this is going to happen. The main underlying process is atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). This process is accelerated by smoking. In addition, smoking damages the lungs as well as other organs  leading to early death. Even the existence towards the end can be quite miserable. See why stop smoking for details.
For a heavy smoker, it is no good cutting down. It is like this - if a person smokes 40 per day, it is equivalent to jumping from a 40 storey building. If he cuts down to 20 per day, it is like jumping from a 20 storey building - the outcome is likely to be the same.
So, if possible, don't get into the habit at all. Let us all stop smoking.
