New updated version of our app originally developed several years ago offered through this platform for the first time.
An app on the importance of drinking water at regular intervals with an alarm reminder system in place. This app was developed by our I&I and Health-O-Health units, which forms part of VAL-U-PRO CONSULTING GROUP, LLC in collaboration with our AmazeBaba & its Affiliates limited.
A straightforward app to remind us to drink water at regular intervals, along with a couple of interesting facts regarding drinking water on a daily basis. The objective of this app is to share info that is simple to use and understand pertaining to health.
More Details:
Though there is a general notion on water being a vital ingredient for our survival, there are all kinds of myths about drinking water. For that reason, we are working on expanding our Water Wise series to address various aspects connected to drinking water.
To elaborate further, we generally hear that more water is good for health. However, as with every chemical, water being a chemical, even too much of water could impact us going with the ancient worldly saying, "Dose determines Poison" or our own version, "Alavukku meerinaal Paayasamum Poison aagalaam", which means too much of even divine nectar could impact our health. To further clarify on this point, swimming without knowing to swim in a pool of water could drown us.
History for US about the impact of drinking too much water:
Along these lines, there is an interesting real sad story of a Californian woman by name, Jennifer Strange, who participated in a radio station's drinking-water contest named "Hold Your Wee for a Wii" (Nintendo game console), and after gulping over six liters of water in a three hour period, this woman died from "water-intoxication".

Please note that this app outlines a general guideline to start with. There are various intricate aspects about drinking water depending on environmental factors and personal lifestyle. Moreover, there are aspects of chemistry, physiology, biology, anatomy and more that needs to be considered while keeping ourselves hydrated.
However, this application would be a good starting point for everyone. Please discuss with your own physician on this topic, if necessary and also do your own research to improve your understanding. We also plan to expand this WaterWise (WW) series over time capturing various elements of health.
