Many health experts recommend that we drink enough water to maintain proper hydration. Just how much is this "sufficient amount" for different people? And how to accustom yourself to this useful habit?
Program Waterbalance will help you resolve these issues. With its help, you will not only find out how much you need to drink every day, but also get regular reminders about it.
Waterbalance is completely free and available on both Android and iPhone. Its main goal is to help people achieve a healthy water balance in their body. To do this, we have to fill out a rather detailed section of personal data, which includes not only height, weight, age, but also the daily routine and training regimen. Based on this data, Waterbalance will calculate the approximate amount of fluid you should consume each day.
In addition, Waterbalance tries to establish your location using the GPS system. As far as I understand, this is necessary in order to take into account the current state of the weather when determining the daily rate of water. The program will then carefully remind you periodically to replenish the fluid in your body.
Of course, you must inform the Waterbalance of each drink you drink. To do this, there is a special screen where you can select the type of drink and use the sliders to specify the amount. As you drink different liquids, your silhouette in the program will fill in blue. At the same time, different drinks have completely different effects on your water balance, for example, coffee and tea, on the contrary, removes water from the body.
The whole application Waterbalance quite useful and interesting. However, there are also a number of shortcomings. For example, if you are indoors and the GPS cannot determine your coordinates, the program will annoy you with messages asking you to check your Internet connection. The list of available drinks could be expanded. Let's hope that the developers in the next versions will take these wishes into account.
Also, take a look at the iDrated iPhone app.
