If the answer is yes, you are increasing your level of hydration. Every time your eyes roll, take a few seconds and ask yourself, ” Am I drinking more water than I use?” If the answer is no, then the recommendation is to drink 6-8 glasses a day. If the answer is yes, you are increasing your level of hydration. Every time your eyes roll, take a few seconds and a grateful look at the life you lead and the one you are play for.
Be grateful for your body, when you have it you have something to look forward to. When you have had a goal and focus on it with motivation and a plan to meet it, the body is there waiting to fulfill that plan. All the food you gave up is not just fat, it’s muscle, your blood, and your organs. All the water you drank is not just urine and tastes, it’s actually the sweat you just lost. All the lives you touched are not just in your own life, it’s in the lives of your family and friends. All the bodies you care for are not just the same one.
Drink water for being healthy, for your family, for your friends, for everything. No matter what you do, let water be your medicine. Bon appétit!
