Reach For The Water!


The benefits of drinking water are so amazing that it's been called the "forgotten secret of health". Many of us are walking around dehydrated right now. If you wait to reach for the water until you are thirsty, you are already dehydrated and this is affecting your cells. About 75% of your body and 90% of your brain is water. All functions within your body require the presence of water. Regular hydration will boost your energy levels. It will also boost your immune system and mental sharpness.

Drinking water is very important if you are trying to lose weight. Thirst and hunger sensations are triggered together; therefore, if there is a slight dehydration the thirst mechanism may be mistaken for hunger. One may feel the desire to eat when the body is actually craving fluid. While most foods contain some water, if one doesn't drink much, one might be driven to eat more to gain the necessary water supply the body desires. Drinking more water can help prevent overeating and benefit weight loss.

More to come.......
