Water, Water, Water

     Drinking water has to be the most important thing I can tell ANYONE! Not only because its good for you, but your body is 75% water, and your brain is 85% water. When your bodies cells are starved of water they "complain" and start to set up adverse reactions for example, you can get headaches, muscle aches dehydration and lack of energy just to name a few.  I know it seems like common sense, but if you really put the effort into thinking about what you drink in a day you might be surprised, some people can go a whole day and not drink water!

If drinking more water seems like a hard task try to add one water bottle in at a time. Also I have heard people say they don't like the taste of water, try adding a little lemon/lime or orange(fresh of course) into the water.  I am not saying only drink water all day everyday, I too like my cup of coffee or soda so I tell myself I get one free pass everyday, that's one thing to drink a day that is not water after that one thing...only water!

Also their are different ways to use water in more therapeutic ways. Showers for starters, the temperature of the water can help your skin, if you like a hot shower (like myself) take your shower like normal then the last minute or so turn it as cold as you can handle it and see how different your skin is after a week.  Other things would be, relaxing baths, a whirl pool, hot springs and steam rooms/saunas.

Enjoy a glass of water!
