FREEBIE: Belly Flattening 4 Day Meal Plan - Click Here

How much do you get of this each day?

6/3/2019

 
“Drink more water” – It’s a statement you probably hear constantlyfrom doctors, magazine articles, advertisements, and even mom!!!

But how much water are you really supposed to drink and how can you make doing so a bit easier?
 
Frankly, water isn’t everyone’s first choice in beverages, but it should be.

Water accounts for nearly 70% of your body composition and is essential for growth and regeneration of every cell in your body.

Without proper hydration, your body won’t work properly. Proper hydration supports the following major health benefits:
 
  • Prevents dry mouth, lips, and throat
  • Keeps the body cool (and don't we need that right now?!)
  • Improves muscle and joint function
  • Helps you lose weight
    • As your body is cleansed with water, your body sheds waste which leaves you looking and feeling lighter.
  • Cleanses toxins from your body
    • Shedding toxins gives you more energy, improves mental health and functioning, and gives you better skin and hair. Bonus! You will glow!
                            INFUSED WATER IS THE REAL DEAL!!

Using certain fruits, herbs, and flowers takes the benefits of hydration to a whole new level. Infused water benefits include:
 
  • Heightened metabolism
  • Enhanced digestive functioning
  • Improved immune system functioning (recuperate faster from illness and workouts
  • Additional energy boosts and mood enhancements
 
So how much should you drink?

Take your weight and multiply it by 0.035.
That will give you the amount of litres you need to aim for daily.
e.g. If you weight 68kg then you need to drink 2.38l which is 7 beer glasses (the tall glass that you get in most pubs)
You read that right!
 
It’s no secret that it’s difficult for many people to drink the necessary amount of water because it can be boring at times.

It isn’t as de-stressing as drinking a glass of wine and it doesn’t have the flavor a colddrink or iced tea offers.

And yes, fizzy drinks are fun, but it is so important that we limit the amount of sugars and artificial ingredients we put into our bodies.

Thankfully, there are easy ways to make your water more interesting, flavourful, and packed full of health benefits.

My favorite way to spice up my water intake is with fruit-infused water!

Fruit-infused water is a great alternative to its soda counterparts while still being FUN.

The main difference is, fruit-infused water is going to leave you feeling fresh and most importantly—HYDRATED!

Almost every top massage and spa place I have been to serves fruit, herb, and flower-infused water.
 
Need some ideas on what to mix together?

Try these combos - 
  • Orange, lemon, and ginger (improves immune system and blood circulation)
  • Cucumber, raspberry, and grape (beats inflammation)
  • Rhubarb, apple, and cinnamon (amplifies metabolism)
  • Strawberry and lime (boosts anti-aging)
  • Pineapple and mint (supports digestive system)

How much water do you drink right now?
What do you do to make your water interesting? Or do you just glug it down?
