It is important to drink fresh water and as much water as you can. Water flushes unwanted toxins from your body and keeps your mind sharp. If you have a headache at some point in the day, try drinking a glass of water - chances are you will feel better right away! On average we should be drinking between 2-3L of water a day in order to stay properly hydrated.
Not convinced yet? Well... water intake also enhances fat loss, decreases appetite, and finally (my personal favorite), staying hydrated slows down the aging process! Place a raisin (or your favorite dried fruit) in a glass of water and leave it overnight - by morning it will have bulked up and become visibly less wrinkly. The same thing happens to our skin when it's nourished and hydrated!
Not sure if you're drinking enough? Here's a tip: if you are drinking enough water, your urine should be completely clear - makes sense, right?
For those of you that have been avoiding water like the plague because it just "too boring" and has "no flavour," here are some ways that I add a bit of a kick to my water: I love adding sliced cucumbers or citrus fruits like oranges, lemons, and/or limes to my water for a fresh and revitalizing beverage. I also love throwing an herbal or white tea bag in my canteen and take my water to go. This brings me to a very important point - PLEASE don't go out now and buy a case of water at your local grocery store. Metal/plastic canteens are a great investment and are environmentally friendly. We are working on improving our core - let's try to be more sustainable while we're at it!
CHEERS - to our health!
