Today's post is all about the wonders of water! I know, I know, you've heard it a million times, drink your water! But hopefully this will inspire you to take some action:) Check out this article on a recent study about the effects of water on weight loss.
So it seems simple but just in case you need even more motivation, here are a few more benefits of downing the H2O...
- Your body is made up of approximately 60-70% water. Everything from your blood, to muscles, to your brain are made up of large quantities of water. Water aids in body temperature regulation and water helps transport nutrients throughout your body.
- Water helps to flush out all the toxins and by products your body produces through daily functioning.
- Fiber is great but if you're not drinking enough water, you'll end up with some pretty nasty stomach pains (read: constipation)
- Water helps to lubricate your joints and protect them from injury.
- It's good for your skin! Hydrated skin is radiant skin.
- It's good for your energy. Even being slightly dehydrated can sap you of your energy.
- It increases the benefits of your workouts. Being well hydrated will help you power through your workouts more effectively.
See you Monday for our next new feature!
