This week we are going to talk about the habit of drinking water. A powerful habit is drinking water first thing in the morning. Over night our body can become dehydrated. Most people grab a cup of coffee first thing in the morning but if we just made a switch to a glass of water we could reap tons amazing benefits!

We all know water is good for us. It's even been referred to as the elixir of life! Everything in our body needs water in order to survive. Our body is made up of about 60% water. Water helps regulate body temperature, keeps joints lubricated, prevents infections, and carries the needed nutrients to cells. Staying hydrated is important and here are my top 3 benefits!

1. Water Helps You Stay Energized

Keeping your water levels up can help plump up your skin cells and minimize the lines and wrinkles on your body. Water also helps with detoxification and helps flush toxins and impurities out of the body. Staying well hydrated helps support good circulation and blood flow which gives your skin a glowing appearance. 

3. Makes You Feel Fuller

Thirst can be confused as hunger, which can lead to overeating. By drinking more water you can self regulate and actually eat when you are hungry!

Tips to help you get more water during the day!

* Carry a water bottle for easy access when you are at work or running errands

*Freeze freezer safe water bottles, take one for ice cold water all day long

*Choose water instead of sugar/sweetened beverages. Substituting water for one 20 oz sugar sweetened soda can save you around 250 cals!

*Go with water when you eat out.

*Add a lime or lemon to your water. This can improve the taste and allow you to drink more!
