The importance of drinking water / Važnost pijenja vode

Don't forget to drink water. If you forget to drink water (or other fluids), you will become dehydrated and this usually triggers headaches (not to mention other health problems and complications). I know we all know this but it is good to be reminded sometimes. Our brains are eighteen percent water, so when our brain tissue lacks water, it literally  shrinks and this is what causes dehydration headaches. Often when someone says to me they have a headache, I asked them whether they tried drinking a glass of water. Many said this little tip of mine helped them. There are many other causes for headaches but many people do suffer from dehydration headaches and never realize that what helped them was not the pain killer they took, but the glass of water they drank while taking that pill. I'm not a health fanatic nor am I against taking painkillers, but it is better to avoid taking them when we can. These photographs that show me and my significant other enjoying a cup of coffee at hotel Mogorjelo located next to river Neretva seem to be appopriate to bring this topic to the surface. In addition, don't be suprised when you order coffee in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina and you get a glass of water with. Tourists are always asking me why this happens. A glass of water is usually served with a cup of coffee here whether or not you asked for it (normally it is tap water which is safe to drink  here and it is never charged). I for one think it is a good idea and I usually end up drinking that glass of water that comes with coffee. A glass of water is typically also served if you order cakes. If you want bottled water, you will have to order it seprately.

Nemojte zaboraviti piti vodu. Ako  zaboravite piti vodu ili druge tekućine, dogoditi će vam se dehidracija, a ona obično izaziva glavobolje (da ne spominjemo druge zdravstvene probleme i komplikacije). Znam da svi to znamo, ali dobro se podsjetiti ponekad. Naši mozgovi se sastoje osamdeset posto od vode, tako da se kada mu nedostaje vode naše moždano tkivo doslovno smanjuje i to izaziva glavobolje. Često kada mi netko kaže  da ih boli glavi, ja ih upitam jesu li pokušali popiti času vode. Puno njih mi je reklo da im je ovaj moj savjet pomogao. Postoje i drugi brojni uzroci glavobolje, ali puno ljudi doista pati od glavobolja izazvanih dehidracijom i nikada to ne shvate, ne shvaćajući da im nije pomogla tableta za glavobolju nego ona časa vode koju su popili dok su bili tu tabletu. Nisam nikakav fanatik za zdravlje,  niti sam protiv tableta za bolove, ali bolje ih je izbjegavati kada to možemo. Ove fotografije koje prikazuju mene i moju drugu polovicu dok uživamo u u kavi u hotelu Mogorjelo čine se prikladnim za otvaranje ove teme. Uz to, nemojte se iznenaditi ako kada naručite kavu u Hrvatskoj ili u BIH pa dobijete čašu vode uz nju. Turisti me uvijek pitaju zašto je tomu tako. Čaša vode obično se nervira uz kavu ovdje bez obzira jeste je ili niste tražili (obično je to voda iz slavine koja je ovdje sigurna za piće i nikada se ne naplaćuje). Ja osobno mislim da je to baš dobra ideja i obično popijem tu vodu koja dođe uz kavu. Čaša vode se obično servira i uz kolače. Želite li vodu iz boce, morate je posebno naručiti.
