Eight, 8 oz.
glasses per day is a challenging goal.
Logically speaking, if
each day has 24 hours, 1/3 of the day or 8 hours is invested as sleeping.
Therefore we have 16 hours left to hydrate. Drink 4 oz of water per hour.
Keep a tea cup by your side and start sipping. GET IT?
Stay Hydrated!!!
...of course you may want to slow down a few hours before bed time!
Remember:
Your body needs
roughly
1/2 cup or 4 oz. of water
per hour.
-
If you
have missed two hours, drink 1 cup
or
8 oz.
-
If you
have missed four hours, drink 2 cups
or
16 oz.
Water
for Thought:
-
Have you ever
noticed when you are dehydrated,
you can not think straight? It
makes sense staying well-hydrated keeps you in balance and empowers
your decision-making processes.
-
Have you ever
noticed when you have a headache, you are also usually dehydrated?
-
You continuously lose water as you breathe, sweat and visit the
restroom. You
simply must replenish throughout the day.
-
As your body burns fatty acids,
toxic by-products of fat oxidation
are transported in the bloodstream and then flushed out. Your body needs
plenty of water to flush those toxins.
-
Over time, as you drink
more water you will notice your body becomes leaner with less visible cellulite.
Water helps flush toxins out, preventing them from
getting trapped in fatty tissue.
- Dehydration
is the most common trigger for food cravings. Most folks walk around all
day long, completely dehydrated!
They know they are craving something, but can't seem to put their finger on it.
- Your body is roughly 75% water. If this is the
only habit you focus on, you will notice a great surge in energy because you
will stop overdosing on carbohydrates, which zap your energy.
- Water is classified as a
nutrient. It is an
essential medium for metabolic reactions.
Staying hydrated will assist your body's metabolic processes in becoming more
efficient.
-
If you are an
athlete or exercise
intensely, drink
before, during and
after workouts. Athletes can weigh themselves before the physical activity, and
replenish with water until they weigh the same weight after the workout.
 ...also,
try the ElectriFire,
to hydrate.

Re: hydration.
Consider ionizing your water
Drinking ionized
water is wise because it assists your body in becoming
more alkaline ...that's important to manage low-grade inflammation.
I keep either a mason jar, or
a glass bottle filled to the brim with ionized water by my side!
It stays within reach all day long.
I also keep a lid on it to keep the dust particles out :>"!
Now, get up and go get a drink of water
:>D
