The Truth About Hydration | E-Neighborhood Advisor

Happy Saturday! - Hope you have a great one!

The 8x8 rule has become a health goal for many. But when it comes to healthy skin, eyes and having bags of energy, the research tells another story, as reported in The Guardian by Amy Fleming.

Have you drunk enough water today? You might want to refill your bottle because if you wait until you feel thirsty, you may already be dehydrated. No one is sure where this advice came from, but it’s all over the internet.

“Nowadays this is not considered sensible,” says Stuart Galloway, an associate professor in physiology, exercise and nutrition at the University of Stirling. “As humans, we have this homeostatic system, so when we need water, we feel thirsty.” Drinking when you are thirsty, he says, maintains your body’s water level within about 1-2 percent of its ideal state. “For most people, this is absolutely fine. Even for athletes, a loss of around 1 percent is considered to have negligible impact upon performance. So, although thirst may not kick in until you have lost some body water, this is not necessarily a bad thing.”

As we get older, our sense of thirst can get fuzzier and that is when dehydration can become a threat. It is a similar story for children, too. So perhaps the advice to drink water before you feel thirsty was originally aimed at parents and the elderly, but now healthy adults are putting away gallons of water in a quest to be their best selves.

There is a dearth of facts when it comes to hydration. Pharmaceutical companies aren’t interested in researching the benefits of a free resource and dehydration isn’t a pressing public health issue requiring government funding. This leaves a profitable grey area for the drinks industry to exploit.

Water is, it would have us believe, a purifying fast-track to glowing skin, bright eyes and bags of energy. Galloway says detoxing with water is “a load of rubbish. Your kidneys do a very good job of sorting out what you need to retain and what you need to get rid of.”

Will water make your skin better? While dehydration isn’t good for your skin, says Bav Shergill, a consultant dermatologist and honorary senior lecturer at the University of Manchester, “Once you hit a certain level of fluid intake, providing you are healthy, any excess water will be peed out.”

Dehydration is said to be the most common cause of headaches and in 2015, Burls wrote a critical appraisal of the evidence. She concluded: “Chronic mild dehydration may trigger headaches. Increased water intake could help. A small trial shows modest benefit; however, a larger, methodologically sound, randomized controlled trial is needed to confirm efficacy.” There is that grey area again.

In the US, popular advice is to drink eight, 8-ounce glasses of water – about 2 litres – a day: the “8x8 rule” that originated from a recommendation by the nutritionist Dr Fredrick J Stare in 1974 (he actually suggested six to eight glasses).

How much you need to drink is governed by how active you are, the weather and your physiology. Tellingly, if you seek water-consumption advice from a quietly reputable US source such as Harvard Medical School, instead of the 8x8 rule, you get “four to six cups” a day for healthy adults and all beverages count. Don’t they make us pee more so we end up dehydrated?

In 2016, Galloway tested the hydrating potential of a range of drinks and found milk was even more hydrating, and effective as a hydration solution for people with diarrhea. While not a green-light to binge on high-calorie drinks, it’s good to know that other liquids still count as water intake.

How many of us are seriously dehydrated? No one knows. If we’re ingesting enough water, he adds, we should probably be going to the loo “somewhere between five and seven times a day.”

Stop These Common Email Mistakes | E-Neighborhood Advisor

Happy Saturday! - Hope you have a great one!

Email has been around for decades, and even though a lot of companies are moving to communication platforms like Slack, it’s not going away anytime soon. You’d think years of using the tool would make us proficient, but email is considered one of the biggest time wasters at work. Consider these tips reported in Fast Company:

Using All Caps in Your Subject Line

Skip the all-caps subject line. It’s the internet equivalent of yelling, and no one likes to be yelled at. Scammers and people trying to spam your inbox use these techniques, and they’re no longer effective.

While all caps are bad, a completely lowercase subject line is also bad. Emails that were started with a lowercase letter got a reply 28.4 percent of the time, compared to a 32.6 percent response rate for those with proper subject capitalization, according to research by Boomerang.

Unclear Subject Lines

Avoid putting something generic in the subject line, such as “Hi.” And don’t forget to change the subject line if the conversation shifts. Emails that are sent to a large group of people can often have a subject drift.

Not Using Cc and Bcc

It’s tempting to send emails with every recipient in the “to:” section, but using the “cc:” and “bcc:” fields can convey information without having to write it.

Adding people on an email in the ‘to:’ heading notes that input is expected, while ‘cc:’ informs recipients that they are being brought into the loop but that no action is required. ‘Bcc:’ lets recipients know that their involvement as bystanders is in secret.

Writing Too Much or Too Little

While writing a short email is good, it depends on the topic of the message. A big mistake is when people don’t appropriately convey the complexity of topic. Don’t be glib about a serious topic; make sure the gravity corresponds with the length of the email you’re sending. But don’t send 5,000 words if all you want is to get some pizza together.

Not Closing an Email with an Expression of Gratitude

When appropriate, close your email with an expression of gratitude, such as “Thanks” or even better “Thanks in advance.” These sign-offs increase response rate by 36 percent compared to other methods, according to Boomerang.

Sending Emails on a Monday

While it’s not wrong to send an email on Monday, people are not always in the best mood, and they’re more prone to making mistakes. Monday is the first day to start waking up early after the weekend, and people make more mistakes in their email; that affects the response rate and reflects badly. If you have to send an important email on Monday, take time to make sure it’s mistake-free.

The Boomerang study found that Monday is when people are the most negative in their subject lines, and negative emails are the least likely to get a response.

Expecting an Immediate Response

Even though sending an email is a quick and immediate process, getting an immediate reply is not guaranteed. Many people have conflated email and text messaging, and they are not the same thing. When you’re sending a non-urgent email to a coworker, it’s important to remember that they might have other things to do that may be more of an urgent issue or may not have even seen your original message yet. Living in a culture of increased instant gratification is resulting in us becoming more accustomed to it and has made people increasingly impatient.

Easy, Romantic Valentine’s Dinner | E-Neighborhood Advisor

Happy Saturday! - Hope you have a great one!

For all the couples who prefer a cozy night in to making reservations out for Valentine's Day, here is recipe from Delish that is a step above your usual weeknight dinner, without being crazy-hard to make.

Creamy Tuscan Chicken

Be sure to have some crusty bread on hand because this sauce is KILLER. When it comes to chicken breast recipes, it’s hard to beat this one.

Ingredients

1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts

Kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper

1 tsp. dried oregano

3 tbsp. butter

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 1/2 c. cherry tomatoes, halved

3 c. baby spinach

1/2 c. heavy cream

1/4 c. freshly grated Parmesan

Lemon wedges, for serving

Directions

1. In a skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add chicken and season with salt, pepper, and oregano. Cook until golden and no longer pink, 8 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and set aside.

2. In the same skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add cherry tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Cook until tomatoes are beginning to burst then add spinach and cook until spinach is beginning to wilt.

3. Stir in heavy cream and parmesan and bring mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and simmer until sauce is slightly reduced, about 3 minutes. Return chicken to skillet and cook until heated through, 5 to 7 minutes.

4. Serve with lemon wedges.

Pair with a simple pasta or some crusty bread and some fresh asparagus, you can’t go wrong. Happy Valentine’s Day!
