Water

More than sixty percent of our bodies is made of water and it is the liquid that our cells bathe in every minute. Yet, most of us walk around in a state of dehydration because we do not simply drink enough of it. Water has a range of life enhancing benefits:

  • Helps get rid of toxins – Toxins are removed mostly by the kidneys and having water in your system helps the kidneys to function better. So you need a constant flow of water into your system from the moment you wake up and throughout your day. You should drink at least 8 glasses daily and if you are doing a strenuous job or heavy exercise, you should drink more.
  • Gives your metabolism a boost – Water works to get your inner clock moving. In fact, it can increase your metabolism by more than 24% for 90 minutes. This leads to increased concentration and even weight loss.
  • Your brain works better – When you’re not properly hydrated, your brain operates on less fuel, and you feel drained, or experience fatigue or mood fluctuations. Drink water to eliminate this.
  • Helps you lose weight – One study showed that people who drank a glass of water before every meal lost 4.5 pounds over a three-month period. Water fills the stomach, has zero calories, and makes you feel full.

Don’t like the taste of water? Try adding slices of lemon, orange, lime, or even cucumber to your water.
