Now that you can see how beneficial drinking water is, do you realize that you are probably still not drinking enough even though you may think you are? If you are not drinking half your body weight in ounces every day, you are dehydrating yourself!! Read through the list above, every single one of those benefits are being denied unless you are properly hydrated. Improper hydration leads to reduced brain power, irregular body temperature, poor blood circulation, impacted bowels, weak bones, sore/painful joints, sore/tight muscles, poor absorption of nutrients from your food, weak vital organs: heart, lungs, liver, pancreas, colon, etc., difficulty breathing, poor cellular health. You will also be unable to lose weight if you’re dehydrated. DRINK YOUR WATER!!
Additionally, here is a list of drinks that will counteract all other healthy habits you have (not to mention, actually dehydrate you as opposed to hydrate).
- Coffee: caffeine & calories will derail your progress. It’s low Ph will also increase the acidity of your body’s Ph leading to many complications, illnesses, & chronic diseases (e.g. Diabetes, Parkinsons, heart disease, & cancer).
- Carbonated drinks (including club soda, spritzer water, etc.): carbonation is acid. Acid will destroy the enamel on your teeth & lead to many other health concerns.
- Diet/sugar-free drinks: diet & sugar-free drinks are sweetened with chemically based sugar substitutes. Since your body does not know how to process these chemicals, it will store them in your fat cells making them resistant to reduction. These chemicals will also lead to acid reserves.
- Alcohol: not to mention the additional empty calories, keep these attributes in mind the next time you’re tempted to imbibe (even just a little): it’s a toxin & damages the human body; potentially addictive; proven carcinogen; there is no safe level of alcohol intake to avoid its many serious side effects & consequences.
but did you know, not all water is the same?
