H.2.Ohh...Really??!!

I was a pretty good water drinker my whole life... but, I recently decided to take my H2O intake to a whole other level!! The changes that took place after only a couple days not only shocked me but made me a bit of an addict!! I mean we all know water is good for us!! DUH but it goes over and beyond that!! Keep reading... I will fill you in!

I went from drink 5-7 8oz glass a day to 4.5 litters apx. 144oz. It kinda seems like a lot... But let me tell you... the more I drank the more my body wanted more and more of this water!! 

Not only did it jump start my weight loss, My skin cleared up like crazy and had a amazing dewy glowing look to it!! The tone of my skin had improved so much in just one week of doing this easy little beauty secret I actually felt comfortable going to the store with no make on!! (BIG, BIG deal for me!) I noticed I had more energy and at work before I would grab my lunch bag... I would grab my water! It became part of my day and when I would be driving and didn't have my water bottle I felt lost!!

To figure out how much water your body needs, take your total weight a divide in half! There you have it!! That magic number will total the amount of oz. you should be drinking per day... I drink way more then my half but, you should still see a difference if you just start there!!


I wanted to share this with you cause its SOOO easy to do and has amazing befits!! Below are just a few reasons why water is so amazing!! Here you go...
Benefits of Drinking Water
  1. Lose weight: Drinking water helps you lose weight because it flushes down the by-products of fat breakdown. Drinking water reduces hunger, it’s an effective appetite suppressant so you’ll eat less. Plus, water has zero calories. 
  2. Natural Remedy for Headache: Helps to relieve headache and back pains due to dehydration. Although many reasons contribute to headache, dehydration is the common one.
  3. Look Younger with Healthier Skin: You’ll look younger when your skin is properly hydrated. Water helps to replenish skin tissues, moisturizes skin and increases skin elasticity.
  4. Better Productivity at Work: Your brain is mostly made up of water, thus drinking water helps you think better, be more alert and more concentrated.
  5. Better Exercise: Drinking water regulates your body temperature. That means you’ll feel more energetic when doing exercises. Water also helps to fuel your muscle.
  6. Helps in Digestion and Constipation: Drinking water raises your metabolism because it helps in digestion. Fiber and water goes hand in hand so that you can have your daily bowel movement.
  7. Less Cramps and Sprains: Proper hydration helps keep your joints and muscles lubricated, so you’ll less likely get cramps and sprains.
  8. Less Likely to Get Sick and Feel Healthy:Drinking plenty of water helps fight against flu and other ailments like kidney stones and heart attack. Water adds with lemon is used for ailments like respiratory disease, intestinal problems, rheumatism and arthritis etc. In another words one of the benefits of drinking water is that it can improve your immune system.
  9. Relieves Fatigue: Water is used by the body to help flush out toxins and waste products from the body. If your body lacks water, your heart, for instance, needs to work harder to pump out the oxygenated blood to all cells, so are the rest of the vital organs, your organs will be exhausted and so will you.
  10. Good Mood: Your body feels very good and that’s why you feel happy!!
  11. Reduce the Risk of Cancer: Related to the digestive system, some studies show that drinking a healthy amount of water may reduce the risks of bladder cancer and colon cancer. Water dilutes the concentration of cancer-causing agents in the urine and shortens the time in which they are in contact with bladder lining.

P.S. If you add lemon or lemon juice it will also help you curb your hunger even more and helps alkaline your body!! (to mention few) Not to mention it tastes AMAZING!!
