The extreme importance of Hydration

Our body's signal of thirst is almost indistinguishable from hunger so it is important to make sure that we are providing what our body really wants. When you think you want a soda or a donut or a slice of cake or a candy bar or whatever you think you're craving...try drinking some mildly cold water and see if that does the trick.

In fact, check out these warning signs of dehydration:

Yellow Urine

Infrequent Urination

Headaches

Dry Skin

Dry Mouth

Dizziness

Fatigue

Muscle Soreness

You should drink at least 6-8 Cups of Water per Day if not more!

Try drinking 2 quarts of Water first thing in the morning to rehydrate your body after sleeping and help flush your digestive tract. You may try adding a bit of salt to replenish your electrolytes and have a banana for the potassium.

Some hydrating fresh produce are tomatoes, cucumbers, apples, oranges, grapes, strawberries, watermelons, cantelopes, and coconut water.

Water is absolutely essential for you to properly digest and utilize your food! And when you workout, especially cardiovascular exercises like walking, jogging, and running...you help increase the circulation of your fluids and this helps detoxify and replenish and feed your cells.

Proper Hydration and Exercise are very synergistic to each other. The one greatly amplifies the benefits of the other.
