We all know that water is important, but the struggle to stay hydrated is real! Reaching the goal of 64 ounces of water each day (more if you workout and drink caffeinated beverages), is no easy feat for most of us. Perhaps understanding the reasons why we need more water in our diets will encourage us to chug and refill…
From sun up to sun down, water is vital for our overall health. Many studies have shown that drinking a glass of water first thing in the morning boosts your energy, as well as your metabolism. Burn more calories and feel more awake? Yes, please!
Water intake throughout the day improves daily performance, lubricating your joints and providing aid to your organs so they can function properly. Consuming water flushes the body of toxins, preventing all manner of diseases and disorders. Hydration keeps not only the inside of our body clean and clear, but the mind and the skin, as well. Over time, staying properly hydrated, can prevent the signs of aging, aid in weight loss, combat depression, improve sleep, and boost your immunity among many other benefits.
There are hundreds of good reasons to drink more water, so what are you waiting for? If you’ve got pointers on how to better incorporate hydration into your daily routine, we want to hear them! And if you have struggles, we want to hear those, too.
