Water Water Water


Well this has been fun, but time for the last entry. Today I will just keep it simple. Lets
talk about water and what huge importance it carries in your diet. First to understand
why water is important let me show you how much of our body is actually made up of water:
·      Muscle consists of 75% water
·      Brain consists of 90% of water
·      Bone consists of 22% of water
·      Blood consists of 83% water

Now understanding how much our body is actually made up of water it might help you realize why it is so important. Here are some other simple reasons why water is so important:
-       Helps you lose weight
-       Helps decrease muscle pains, or the way your body heals from injury
-       Increases skin glow, and reduces acne, or blemishes
-       Natural remedy for headaches
-       Great amounts of energy
-       Helps digestion
-       Less like to get sick
-       Helps flush our toxins daily
-       Creates natural endorphins (happy hormones)
-       Speeds up metabolism
-       Zero Calories  

No I understand that it can be hard to always drink water, some water has an iron taste, and sometime it just gets old tasting. So try this. Try adding fruit, or root vegetables’ to your water. I know it sounds crazy but not only does it change the taste to something delicious, but then you are also getting the nutrients from the fruit or root vegetable you put in there.  My personal favorite is lemon, and cucumbers. Also if your daring try mint leaves, or basil. Like I said I know it all sounds funny, but it really does change that way you look at water, and helps you to stay healthy and always hydrated 

See water, can be fun a delicious, who knew! 
Just be simple put fruit in your Ice cubes! YUM!
