ARE YOU DRINKING ENOUGH WATER?
Most people have no idea how much water they should be drinking, and most people live from day to day in a dehydrated state. Even mild dehydration has shown to slow your metabolism!
Do you drink enough water?
Most adults should be drinking at least 8-10 glasses of water per day.
Most adult bodies are made
up of 50% – 70% of water. If you don’t drink enough water, it will draw
on sources from within the body and this can cause serious problems.
Is there is a difference
between pure water and other beverages that contain water? Obviously you
get water by consuming fruit juice, soft drinks, coffee or tea. However, while
such drinks contain water, they also may contain substances that are not
healthy and actually contradict some of the positive effects of the added
water. Another problem with these beverages is that you lose your taste
for water.
Why is drinking water
important for weight loss? One, it curbs hunger by making you feel full.
Additionally, it replaces sugary drinks helping you to consume less
calories. And even some studies show that water can boost your
metabolism.
Set a goal to drink one
extra glass of water today. Or, get a water bottle to keep at your desk
at work and make an effort to fill it a couple of times each day. You may
need to slowly increase the amount of water you drink by making small and
manageable changes in your daily habits.
