Why drink water?  Approximately 60% of our body is composed of water.  Without the proper amount of water our body functions can not perform to their capacity.  Have you experienced thirst?  By the time this sensation sets in the body is already dehydrated to some degree.  Water is the most overlooked ingredient to a healthy body and healthy mind.  

Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate
10 Reasons to Hydrate

1.  Increases Energy & Fights Fatigue-the majority of your brain is composed of water.  Drinking water helps maintain focus and alertness.  Energy levels are boosted.

2.  Promotes Weight Loss-helps remove fat byproducts, reduces appetite and boosts metabolism.
3.  Flushes Bacteria/Toxins- Rids the body of waste through urination and sweat.  The digestive system needs water to function and without proper hydration the body collects bacteria and toxins causing a variety of health issues.
4.  The Glow-Our skin is the largest organ of the body.  With proper hydration our complexion appears moist, smooth and displays a fresh glowing appearance. 
5.  Promotes Regularity-water aids in digestion and prevents constipation.
6.  Boosts Immune System-Hydration helps fight and reduce chances of flu, forms of cancer and other ailments such as heart attacks.  Water is important for all bodily functions. 
7.  Reduce Headaches-the majority of headaches/migraines are a result of dehydration!  
8.  Reduces Joint Pain, Sprains & Cramps-Proper hydration keeps joints lubricated and maintains the elasticity of muscles to reduce the risk of joint pain.  Glucosamine  helps reduce joint pain by aiding cartilage in absorbing water.
9.  Mood Enhancer-Dehydration causes stress on the body and makes one grumpy and confused.  Drink more water to keep the body functioning and moving.  Happy Body = a Happy Mind!
10.  $AVE MONEY$$$-Water is FREE!  Even bottled water costs less than the sugary soft drinks, energy drinks and juices!  

Drink Water Be Happy!  Until next time....
