Drink Up!

Are you drinking enough water daily? Being busy, working, and running around town all day we tend to forget how important staying properly hydrated is.
Water makes up more than 1/2 our bodies composition and has many more benefit than just quenching our thirst.

My favorite drink is water with lemon. Hydration and detoxification.


W eight Control

Water and water abundant foods tend to aid with weight loss. They take longer to be absorbed and make you feel fuller. Next time you're snacking bored, drink a glass of water first!

A ids with Digestion

Consuming water puts fluid into your colon. Causing things to move much more smoothly throughout your body. Drink water before and after meals. 

T emperature Control

Waters high heat capacity allows our bodies to release or absorb heat when we are feeling cold or hot.  This is the reason we sweat. Don't forget to replace water loss from sweating. 

E nergizes Muscles 

Lack of fluids and electrolytes can cause muscles to shrivel and cause muscle fatigue. It is important to hydrate your muscles before, during and after exercise.

R educes Wrinkles

Although over consuming water will not cause all your wrinkles to disappear, it will hydrate your skin. Dry skin is what causes skin to look older, dry, and wrinkled.


Always remember to stay hydrated! If water is too bland for you, you can always infuse it with cucumber, mint, or fruit!
