Without Water

With Water

We are still in the beginning of the New Year with lots of momentum for our resolutions, right?  Many of us have the same resolution year after year and we know at the stroke of midnight on December 31 each year we resolve that the New Year ahead will be it…we will finally lose weight and get healthy.  January rolls in and we find ourselves in the gym or at yoga or going for a jog.  For some people that lasts a few weeks and others a few months, but we eventually let the stresses and challenges of life take precedence over our health.  Did you know that there is something even easier than going to the gym that you can do to increase your health?  You have actually heard it before and it doesn’t cost a lot!  It is to drink water.  How much exactly will vary, but generally speaking, for weight loss you need about 96 oz, which is equal to 3 liters.  Most of us know what happens to a plant if it doesn’t get water, it will start to turn shades of brown, shrivel up and die.  Now imagine what will happen if we don’t drink water!  You got it…It’s the same reason you can survive for a short time without food but you can’t survive for more than a few days without water. Knowing that, you would think we would make drinking water a priority, yet most of us wake up and have coffee and then drink soda throughout the day, both of which dehydrate us. But here’s the catch, once you realize you are thirsty, you are already dehydrated.  Water is essential to our health! Drink Water.

Find your truth.
