Why you should be drinking more water

Just by drinking the right amount of water, you’ll begin to notice positive changes in the way your body behaves, looks, and feels.

The truth is, none of our body’s systems will function properly if we do not take in the proper amount of water during the day.

Water will help you flush out all the toxins and unwanted bacteria from your body.

How much water should you drink?

A good rule of thumb is about half your body weight in ounces. For example, if you weighed 150 pounds, you should be drinking about 75 oz. per day.

(Keep in mind that the water you drink WHILE you’re working out does not count towards your total – that’s just a bonus!)

Here’s why it’s so important…

Up to 60% of our bodies are composed of water.

Have you noticed when you’re drinking plenty of water, you look and feel better?

Well, hydration improves the color and texture of your skin by helping it build new cells constantly.

It also helps you regulate body temperature through sweating.

Not only that, when you’re drinking the right amount of water, you’ll notice you’re not as hungry!

Many times, when we think we need food, we really just need a glass of water to bring our body into balance.

But if you’re also looking to lose a few pounds, then staying hydrated is an excellent appetite suppressant.

Oh, and one last thing … most people say that after only a few days of consuming water properly, they feel lighter on their feet!

This makes perfect sense because water makes up about 75% of our muscle tissue, so when you’re hydrated, you can notice a difference in your movement right away.

This week, let’s continue building a solid foundation by focusing on drinking more WATER!

Flavor it with cucumber, lemon, lime, or whatever makes you happy (as long as it’s found in the produce aisle and doesn’t come out of a bottle!).
