I have always been a firm believer in drinking water. It may seem like this one is mentioned quite often,but when you understand the benefits of drinking water you can appreciate the reminder.
Coming from a large family,water was often what I was given as a child. So luckily it became a part of my lifestyle at a young age. Here are th Top 4 reasons why we should all become huge water drinkers...
1) Drinking Water Enhances Weight Loss: If you’re trying to lose weight, this can’t be ignored. You won’t be able to lose the weight without water to flush out the by-products of fat breakdown. When there isn’t enough water to dilute the body’s waste products, kidney stones may form. When the kidneys aren’t working to their full potential, the liver must step in and help. Once this happens the liver can’t optimally perform its other important functions. As a result, burning fat has to wait.
2)Drinking Water Combats Ailments in the body: In many cases, fatigue, headaches and back pain may be caused by dehydration. If you suffer from an afternoon nod off, try drinking more water at lunch. If you or your children complain of frequent headaches, the amount of water you’re drinking could be responsible. And, muscle spasms are also caused by not being adequately hydrated.
3)Drinking Water can Reduce Hunger: Experts say that hunger Pangs are often misinterpreted cravings for water. Try drinking water before your regular meals and see if it helps you cut down on the amount of food you eat. It really works as an effective appetite suppressant. Avoid counting tea, coffee, sodas and juices in your fluid intake. Coffee and tea contain caffeine which has a diuretic effect and makes you lose water. Sodas and juices are too sweet—because the body must dilute them, they cause more dehydration.
4)Drinking Water Helps make you Look Younger: When the skin is properly hydrated, it looks plump and more radiant. Water will keep the toxins flushed out and help you to cool off through perspiration. Muscles need to have enough water to make them look full too. Deprive yourself of water and you’ll see the difference in the mirror.
So I now would like to challenge you...Replace every liquid that you drink with water for one week. Take your body weight and divide it by 2. That is how many ounces you should be drinking. And if you are very active, you should drink 2/3 of your body weight. I can guarantee you that you will look and feel better!!

I have a quick question, I already drink a lot of water during the day, BUT what do you think about Crystal Light drinks OR drinks like it? Hope you have a great day!
