Drink more water!

waterWater is extremely good for you, especially considering that most of our body is made up of water. It’s hard for me to drink anything else (besides the occasional glass of home-made orange juice, of course).

Water linked to Weight loss

Water helps you lose weight, and helps you keep it off. Water is naturally 0 calories (that’s right, z-e-r-o), which is an obvious help to losing weight-especially since you don’t have harmful additives.

keep reading for some reasons why water will help you lose weight (and why you should throw out that soda…right now!)

Hungry?

A lot of times when you are feeling hungry, it is because you are actually thirsty. By making sure you are drinking your 8 glasses of water a day, you are not only curbing unnecessary food cravings, but quenching your thirst with something your body needs, which also helps to metabolize stored fat in your body.

Be creative!

Another way of adding water to  your daily routine is through fruits and vegetables. This doesn’t mean you get should skip your 8 glasses of water a day, but this is just another way to add water to your body!

Did you know that common fruits like apples, blueberries, cantaloupe, watermelon, and strawberries contain about 80% (or more) water? Some common vegetables like lettuce, carrots, spinach, zucchini, and cucumber are also about 80% (or more) water. Again, just another healthy way to add water to your body that you disparately need.

Got Water?

Water is beneficial for your overall health. It helps with your skin, kidneys, liver, metabolism, bladder, blood pressure, and helps your body just function better. It is important to keep hydrated year round to keep your body in full running order.

It’s best for your body to stay hydrated through water, and avoid sugar and caffeine filled drinks when you are thirsty. When you are showing signs of being thirsty, your body is begging for water, not the latest energy drink.
