We all know we need to drink water although many of us venture further than adding it to our tea or coffee in the morning and more often than not return home after a hard days work to realise we haven’t had a sip since!
I for one am the worlds worst for this and this week things are going to change….. 2 litres a day and no less.
A reminder of why we should all try to indulge in this less than tasty beverage:
We like this Top Ten list by mindbodygreen.com
- Increases Energy & Relieves Fatigue β Since your brain is mostly water, drinking it helps you think, focus and concentrate better and be more alert. As an added bonus, your energy levels are also boosted!
-
Promotes Weight Loss β Removes by-products of fat, reduces eating intake (by filling up your tummy if consumed prior to meals), reduces hunger, raises your metabolism and has zero calories!
-
Flushes Out Toxins β Gets rid of waste through sweat and urination which reduces the risk of kidney stones and UTIβs (urinary tract infections).
-
Improves Skin Complexion β Moisturizes your skin, keeps it fresh, soft, glowing and smooth. Gets rid of wrinkles. Itβs the best anti-aging treatment around!
-
Maintains Regularity β Aids in digestion as water is essential to digest your food and prevents constipation.
-
Β Boosts Immune System β A water guzzler is less likely to get sick. And who wouldnβt rather feel healthy the majority of the time? Drinking plenty of water helps fight against flu, cancer and other ailments like heart attacks.
-
Natural Headache Remedy β Helps relieve and prevent headaches (migraines & back pains too!) which are commonly caused by dehydration.
-
Prevents Cramps & Sprains – Proper hydration helps keep joints lubricated and muscles more elastic so joint pain is less likely.
-
Β Puts You in a Good Mood β When the body is functioning at its best, you will feel great and be happy!
- Save Money! – Water is FREE! Even if you choose bottled/filtered water, itβs STILL cheaper than that high sugar and fat-filled latte!
If like us you need a kick start then why not make it this week….
Good Luck!
