What you should know about water if you have a heart condition

In previous articles I posted why we need to drink more water. Water is good for health and beauty and has numerous benefits. You can read about it here


But with that said.
As good and healthy as water can be. Water isnt healthy for everyone. For those with heart complications it can be completely different. It is always best to get your doctor's insight before considering to drink more water. 

If you drink too much water it makes your heart work harder. It may cause serious health conditions. So how do you drink the amount prescribed without drinking too much water then?

It is always best to have a bottle or container to make sure you don not go over the amount prescribed. Also remember that anything that melts such as ice cream or lollies is considered as part of your daily liquid allowed. Gelatine is also added to liquids. Yes even soup is included in that daily amount of fluids. Coffee tea juice also considered part of your daily liquid allowance. 

So what do you do when you deal with thirst? It is good to consider chewing gum or candy. For diabetics sugarless is advised. It is good to have a container and drink through out the day. That will also help with the battle against thirst. 

If you know you have a heart condition it is always best to consult your doctor before making health changes. Even if it is drinking water. What is safe for one person is not considered safe for another person. 

Please share so others can know about the risk of water if they have a heart condition.
