Don’t forget to drink…

August 28th, 2009

I’d like to mention the fact that – Water is free, so “Drink up!”

There is nothing more refreshing on a hot summer day like today, than a tall glass of ice water. Water is the key to a healthy diet. It will help your body to rid itself of toxins both inside your body and outside. Because our bodies are made up of over 80% water, we should all be diligent in getting enough water into our bodies every day. The average person should be drinking half their body weight in ounces each day. So if I weigh 140 lbs. I need to drink 70 ounces of water every day. That number may sound like a lot, and it is more than the previously recommended eight 8 ounce servings a day but it is totally doable. The easiest thing for me to do in order to keep track of how much I am drinking, is to carry around my 32 oz. cup. I know that if I drink four of these a day, I am over my needed water intake. I also know that I feel much better through the day and snack a lot less when I am drinking my water. This fact alone is encouragement enough to get me to drink more. But also remember that drinking lots of water will help your skin and hair to be healthier and shinnier.
