You should drink 8, 8-oz glasses of water every day. It is no joke that water is vital to our bodies. It is important to stay hydrated and replace the water that is lost throughout the day. However, it is too much for any of us to truly measure that number so guidelines have been created. Hence, drink 8, 8 oz glasses of water every day. How does one know if they are getting enough water? For children and adults alike, if your urine is pale yellow, you’re doing a good job!
Eating at night causes weight gain. I know you’ve heard this one. “No eating after 7 p.m.” Try telling that to someone who grabs the 5:40 train, then has to pick up their kids and get everyone home and still prepare dinner. When you eat is not nearly as important as WHAT you eat and HOW MUCH you eat. The WHAT and the HOW MUCH is the key. Eating a balanced dinner and then a light snack before bed is quite normal. If you notice that you are eating a lot at night then maybe you under-ate during the day. By the time the evening rolls around you are famished. In this state over eating is easy to do. This scenario is one reason this diet rule was created.
For anyone who works out in the evening, you must eat after you exercise. Eating a well balanced post workout meal is crucial to the body’s recovery.
