Probably from the time you've been a child, you've heard about the benefits of drinking water. This liquid cleanses the human body, helps with food digestion and gives you energy. Yet, for a lot of people, including me, getting ALL of the 8 ounce glasses required in a day is challenging.
So, how do you incorporate water into your diet?
I hear you on this one: sometimes it really is difficult to get all our full servings of water in, each day. But, what I've discovered also is that when I
don't get enough of my required intake of water each day,
my body knows it. I feel dull and listless, unmotivated to really do anything, and sometimes my head even hurts.
I have found that replacing the sugar-based drinks that I would have had with my meals, with
water has really "done the trick" in terms of "forcing me" to get that water intake, and making me feel much better.
I almost
immediately feel a positive change in my attitude, like I'm doing something right for myself, and forging on an upward path toward
good health and an active lifestyle. I definitely feel the "flush" that health practitioners are always talking about when it comes to the benefits of drinking a lot of water as well. My entire system feels this effect. My pores are cleaner, as my face glows with health and little to no signs of acne, and my bowel movements become far more regular than when I'm "flooding my system" with a "sugar overdose". The sugar really does little to nothing for me, so
it's water all the way!
And trust me, when you're
reeeeeallly thirsty and you have a choice between a tall glass of water and a bottle of soda or some other sugar-based drink, then you'll definitely experience a
quench of your thirst if you reach for the glass of refreshing water!
