I'm sure you all have seen me posting pictures of this amazing goodness all over my Instagram. If you know me, then you know I will drink anything BUT water (preferably wine). Water is just plain, boring, and well, not fun. Whether I like water or not, because of my fitness regimen and always being on the go, I am constantly reminding myself that water is a must. I find that more often than not I have trouble drinking the proper amount of water throughout the day. This is an issue as it leads to dehydration...no bueno...

Dehydration can have a significant impact on your health, but did you know that it could also affect your energy level, your ability to control your weight, and mental acuity? Wow! So why is it so important to stay hydrated?

IMPROVED PHYSIQUE:

  • Water will lessen the urge for empty calories, as studies have shown that people may confuse hunger with dehydration. Other studies have shown that diligent water drinkers eat less if they are hydrated.

  • If you’re trying to lose weight, simply choose to drink zero calorie OPT flavored water instead of soda or sugary beverages. This will save you the excess calories as well as provide you with all the benefits of helping your body to flush out toxins and fat byproducts.

  • Get your metabolism fired up and potentially lose weight simply by drinking more water. In fact, drinking a cold 8oz. glass of water before your meals will help you feel fuller and help you avoid overeating. ( As an added bonus, your body must work to warm the water up, burning a few extra calories in the process.)

  • Drinking water can help you tone your body as you exercise, as staying hydrated helps prevent muscle cramping and lubricates joints in the body.

  • Water is essential for good digestion. Water helps dissolve waste particles and pass them smoothly through your digestive tract.

ENERGY / POWER / PERFORMANCE:

  • Water boosts your energy and can give you a nice pick-me-up, as dehydration can make you feel tired and fatigued as well as decrease performance.

  • Water helps the blood transport oxygen and other essential nutrients to your cells.

  • Proper hydration prior to, during and after exercise helps you go farther and faster while decreasing your recovery time.

REDUCE STRESS (EMOTIONAL/PHYSICAL):

  • The majority of the human body (brain, blood, lungs) is water! Since water is critical to the balance of all the body's systems, if you're dehydrated, both your body and your mind will be stressed.

  • In two recent studies, researchers found that even mild dehydration led to difficulty with mental tasks and caused fatigue, tension, and anxiety.
