Dehydration isn’t necessarily something we think about. I admit that I have gone throughout the day with fairly little water consumption. The amount of water that needs to be consumed is said to be between 8- 8oz glasses of water or the amount of ounces that is in half of your body weight (in pounds). For that last example, say you weighed 100 pounds, you would need to drink 50 ounces of water. No matter how you look at it, your body is in need of water and we need to make sure we are providing.
Signs that your body might be dehydrated…
Feeling tired and having no energy
Not being able to lose weight—bloated
Bad complexion
Constipation
Getting sick often
Joint Pain
Poor Mood
Now, think about that. By simply consuming more water you can have more energy, feel less bloated and lose more weight, not be constipated, have better immune system, less joint pain, clearer complexion and a better mood! Why wouldn’t you want to be drinking more water? What a simple way to make your body look and feel better!
Sometimes it’s the simple things in life…
I drink lots of water every day. Always have my water bottle within reach.
I definitely need to drink more water and hopefully that would give me a little joint relief.
