Drink More Water For A Healthier You

Image Detail

Pop may taste good, energy drinks may make you feel energized, and alcohol may make you feel good, but none of these options are good for you.  Therefore, you should drink more water!

Two thirds of your body is made up of water. The majority of your muscles, brain and blood is made up of water.  It can energize you, make you stronger, and can make you lose weight!  Here's how:

1.) Get Stronger: Your muscles are 75% water.  If you don't drink enough water, all that hard work in the gym will never show.  Drink water to increase your strength and the size of your muscles.

2.) The Ultimate Energy Drink: If you drink enough water you will never need fake energy like coffee or energy drinks.  The only reason you need caffeine is for when your body is dehydrated.  If you drink ten 8 oz. glasses of water a day, you'll have all the energy you need!

3.) Lose Weight: Hunger is often misinterpreted cravings for water.  AKA, when you are dehydrated, it feels like you're hungry.  Easy solution: Drink a full glass of water before every meal.  You'll be amazed at how less hungry you'll be which will lead to you eating less.

4.) Improve How You Look and Feel: Think about what happens to plants if you don't water them enough.  They shrivel and die.  That same thing happens to your body inside and out.  Drinking water will hydrate your skin which leads to less wrinkles and feed your organs allowing them to function properly. 

Drinking water really can do wonders for your body.  From strength, to losing weight, to being more energized, water should become your go to drink!

Until tomorrow, spend Everyday Living Fit!
