Along with my newly found working out, I have decided to see what increasing my water intake will do. I also knew water was good for you, but until I decided to start drink more, I didn’t really know what all it was good for. Water helps the keep the skin radiant, removes toxins and impurities, and it will help you to feel full. Water suppresses the appetite naturally and helps the body to metabolize store fat. An increase in water can actually reduce fat deposits.

Many times I will forget to drink water during the day. If I get too busy with the kids or housework, I will never even think about it. So there are a few tips I do to try and remember to drink your water. I drink my water room temperature so I can drink more at time.I also place a jug with how much I want to drink for the day on a counter, I drink about a gallon a day. Using the jug, I can see how much I need to be drinking…and by the end of the day I can make sure I have drank it all. I always drink a glass of water when I first wake up in the morning, we are naturally thirsty when we awake so I make water the first thing I do in the morning. Another great tip is to keep a bottle of water with you all day and don’t just sip on it, when you take a drink gulp it down and refill the bottle. Sipping water will make you end up not drinking much water at all.

The amount of water needed differs from person to person, but a good place to start is the 8×8 rule; drink eight 8oz glasses of water a day. If you are overweight you need additional glass for every 25 lbs of excess weight. By drinking this amount you should start feeling better. So I will continue drinking my water and see what all benefits I get from it and I will post it here. So far, I have a lot more energy and I have been drinking for almost a week. I also heard that drinking water will help with bags and dark circles under your eye as well as assist in the minimization of wrinkles….pretty nice how much water does for you.
