Context | Being so busy with school and work, I often neglect to take care of my health. I do not exercise as often as I would like to, and too often I eat food because of its’ convenience, not because of health considerations. |
Content | I do, though, do one thing consistently that I know is good for my health and that is drinking a lot of water. In a given day I will usually drink about 2.5 litres of water. Living is such a hot climate, I tend to sweat a lot, even when going about normal activities, just due to the weather. I make sure to offset this by drinking a lot, and I always keep a water bottle with me so that any time I feel thirsty I can ensure that I remain hydrated. In recent years I have heard that the rule of “make sure you drink 8 glasses of water per day” is actually a myth. Apparently it is only necessary that you drink when your body tells you that it wants water, by you feeling thirsty. |
Conclusion | Even if this is true, I will drink more than 8 glasses every day because it helps me function better throughout the day. |
