Why Drink Water

I get it.  Water tastes bad and it is boring.  But before you pour some sugary flavor into your water or drink another diet soda, let me share some awesome things about water.  First of all water is plentiful and it is free.  It is readily available and it has zero calories.  60% of your body is water and 90% of our blood is water- that is alot of water!  The benefits of drinking water, besides keeping you alive, is it helps your skin look fantastic, flushes out toxins, maintains our body temperature and helps digestion.  Water also helps maintain blood pressure, helps with asthma and allergies and prevents muscle cramps and soreness.

Are you drinking enough water?  Signs of dehydration include thirst, dry mouth, headaches, irritability, trouble concentrating and muscle cramps. Aim to drink ½ your body weight in ounces, more if its hot outside.

To adjust your taste buds, get used to drinking water by diluting other drinks until you get used to it.  Once you adjust your taste it is actually delicious.  If you are trying to get off of soda try seltzer, a squeeze of lemon or lime or some fresh mint leaves.  Comment below with your favorite way to drink water!
