Coffee and soda and cocktails — oh my! Everywhere you turn there is an opportunity to indulge in a high-calorie, caffeinated or alcoholic drink.
Most people already know water is good for the body but still don’t drink enough of it. If you’re struggling to make healthy lifestyle choices, committing to drink more water is a great place to start.
Wake Up
Keeping your body well hydrated throughout the day can help improve your energy levels. Dehydration leads to fatigue. So water is the best energy drink — it has no calories and no caffeine!
Not only will your body feel more energized from your water-drinking habit, but your brain will too! Water works in the brain to improve concentration and focus — so reach for that water bottle and avoid entering snooze-mode when you need to wake up your mind!
Glow Up
Once you start increasing your water consumption, you might notice an almost immediate improvement in your skin! Lose that dull and dry look within days and notice a natural glow on your skin.
But water doesn’t just help your skin look and feel better, it will also stimulate growth in your hair follicles. The result — softer, shinier, stronger, and longer hair to go with your glowing complexion!
Rev Up
Naturally drinking more water helps with weight loss. It helps your body feel full. But did you know that drinking more water also helps to boost your metabolism? Turn your body into a lean, mean, calorie-burning machine by simply drinking water each day.
Drink Up
Now that you’re sold on drinking more water, how much should you drink? Some say eight 8-ounce glasses per day. Others say ½ ounce of water per pound of body weight. But the truth is that the daily amount of water really varies from person to person. You need to consider your age, gender, activity level, size, general health, and the climate. Pregnant and nursing moms need additional water too!
Like it or not water plays a very important role in maintaining a healthy body. Drinking water is the easiest and most cost-effective way to take care of yourself — not only is it simple, but the benefits are amazing!
