Toast the Marriage of Mother Nature and Father Time with Water!

Water balance exists when your total intake of water is equal to your total loss
of water. Pretty straightforward, yes? You should strive for water balance
because when you don’t have enough water present in your cells, the cells’
walls become wobbly and interfere with your body’s functioning and waste
removal. Yuck. If you’re a savvy CEO of your body, you know that water needs
to be replaced every day... but it has been quoted that 59% of Americans are
chronically dehydrated. This is terribly sad since most of us are lucky enough
to have a clean supply of water to drink from!
That’s why one of the healthiest things you can do for your body is to drink a
full glass of water before you eat a meal. Sometimes your body confuses thirst
with hunger and you turn to food when you should really be turning to water.
Allergies, heartburn, fatigue—these can all be due to dehydration. Acids,
mucous, pollen, and sluggish cells can build inside your body thanks to a lack
of water in your system and cause many symptoms like itchy eyes, congestion, and
lethargy.
Water is a natural resource from Mother Nature and if you don’t allow yourself
to accept her gift, then Father Time is going to step in and age you even
faster. So toast their marriage by drinking water! Drink one 8-ounce glass when
you wake up, two when you exercise, one in the late morning, one with each meal,
and one before you go to bed. Yes, it sounds like a lot of water, but it flushes
out the toxins, allows your skin to breathe more, and keeps your body’s cells
flowing and functioning!
