We would all like to believe that we are responsible enough
to drink plenty of water every day. The truth is that 75%
of the world's population is chronically dehydrated. Health
professionals recommend hydration as the primary step in
overall wellness, not to mention that it is proven to help
arthritis, migraines, high blood pressure, asthma and adult-onset
diabetes.
Just think how healthy everyone would be if they took up
a new hobby: water consumption. |
When your body loses
as little as 2% of your total body weight
in water, your performance and coordination drop dramatically.
As the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue, dehydration can make
daily activities exhausting. Dehydration essentially robs your
brain, organs and bones of nutrients and oxygen that are critical
for daily performance. Like it or not, you are in desperate
need of high-quality hydration to snuggle into the nooks and
crannies of your parched body. |
How much water do you drink every day? A few ounces in
your coffee? A couple sips at the water cooler? Whatever that
amount may be, you need more. If you are looking for a little
help losing weight, try drinking water and lots of it. You
see drinking water alters appetite, so that drinking before
and during meals will help you feel fuller and eat less. Drinking
all day long will help you feel satisfied so that you have
better control over your appetite. Losing weight really is
easier with proper hydration. |
Hydration is not just a bottle of water in your hand or
a glass of water on the table. Hydration is a commitment. It's
a long-term relationship with your body and, more importantly,
your brain. Water makes up 85% of your brain which means that
you have a lot of work to do. Staying hydrated can help you
stay f ocused and think clearly throughout the day without
empty calories or carbohydrates. Keep those synapses firing
with a little help from hydration. |
