Stay Hydrated- Water 101

Brittinie Wick
July 16, 2020

Health experts say that you should drink eight 8 oz. glasses of water per day. But it can be hard to hit this mark. It is recommended that you drink AT LEAST half of your body-weight in ounces of water every day. 

 

The truth is, most of us need to drink more water! 

 

And a lot of us may not realize all of the health benefits to drinking water. You know that your body needs water to stay hydrated. But do you know all of the ways in which you actually benefit from staying hydrated?

 

Well step into my classroom! This is H20 101. ?

 

Here are some of the many ways in which water can make your life better: 

 

✅ Better Exercise

When you are hydrated, you can last longer and go harder in your workout. Your muscles lose water when you sweat so by staying hydrated, you increase the life of your workout and maintain muscle stamina. Drinking enough water will also prevent cramping and strains. 

 

✅ Potential for Weight Loss

While water itself does not cause weight-loss, it can provide an assist. Choosing to drink water instead of beer, wine, or sugary sodas and juices will lower your intake of empty calories. Drinking water before a meal will also make you feel like you are full and can make portion control easier. 

 

✅ Better Digestion

Often times, constipation is a side effect of not drinking enough water. Staying hydrated will prevent this from occurring and allow for better digestion. 

 

✅ Prevent or Ease Headaches

Dehydration can cause headaches. Staying hydrated can limit the number or headaches that you have – and drinking water when you get a headache can help to ease the pain. 

 

✅ Maintain Memory

Studies have shown that healthy hydration is linked to maintaining a healthy memory as you age. So remember – drink more water!

 

✅ Flushes Toxins

Have you ever gotten a massage? One of the first things that they tell you is to drink lots of water. This is because they are releasing toxins from your muscles and your body needs water to flush toxins. Staying hydrated allows your body to flush toxins, which benefits almost every system in your body – including your skin!

 

✅ Kidney Function

Your kidneys are the waste management center for your body. They process and move our waste and urine to the proper next steps and need enough water in our bodies to do so. 

 

✅ Your Appearance

Dehydration can cause circles under your eyes, limp hair, dull skin, and acne. Hydration can make a huge difference in your appearance. 

 

So stay hydrated, my friends!

MONDAY MOTIVATION: I want you to take a second rig MONDAY MOTIVATION: I want you to take a second right now to think of at least 1️⃣ BIG goal.

Did something immediately start telling you to be more “realistic”? (I've been there way too often 😒) Well, that's your LIMITING BELIEFS … and it’s what’s really standing between you and your goals and dreams. 
 ✨
How many times have you seen something that you’ve wanted in your own life, and thought, “Yeah, but …” <insert reason why you don’t “deserve” it or why the cards are stacked against you>.
 ✨
Too many times we don’t realize we have those beliefs because we’ve carried them for so long. We automatically think that certain things are for “other people.” 
 ✨
It's time to SHUT DOWN those beliefs and let them go, so you can start allowing yourself to reach your potential! 
 ✨
So be open to recognizing your limiting beliefs when they pop up – and then turn them around by thinking of a reason why you CAN and SHOULD!
 ✨
We are about to start a new month next week, so what is ONE BIG GOAL that you have for yourself next month, or even this year. 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

Majority of the time, we are our own worst critics Majority of the time, we are our own worst critics— picking out all our own flaws, wishing we could change something and how we would be happy IF “blah blah blah” happened. BUT have you ever looked in the mirror and was like “hot damn”? Granted, it was right after my booty class so i had a good pump going, but i couldn’t stop staring at my booty gainz then ran into the house and told my husband “check out how good my ass looks”. (Btw i tried a different lighting but you know mom life prevents any alone time 🙄)... so my question to you is: what is at least ONE thing you LOVE about yourself? ... and no, it doesn’t have to be physical. 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 let me know!
