Don't forget to HYDRATE!!!! It’s one of the easiest ways to keep your body healthy and to HELP YOU WITH YOUR WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY, if like most of us, you still have some pounds to lose.
And even if you don't need to lose weight, your body NEEDS a proper amount of WATER EVERY DAY! So how much DO we need, you ask?
And even if you don't need to lose weight, your body NEEDS a proper amount of WATER EVERY DAY! So how much DO we need, you ask?
Even if we are not actively exercising, our body still requires one ounce of water for every 2 lbs. of body weight.
Any easy way to calculate the glasses of water per day we should be drinking is:
Take your current body weight
divide it by 2
then take that number
and divide it by 8 to get the total cups of water you should drink in a day (why 8, cuz there are 8 ounces in 1 cup)
BTW, did you know that drinking natural “spring water” is the best option for our bodies. But, here’s the catch…. bottled water in plastic bottles is NOT good for us. Once that plastic bottle heats up, it transfers portions of that plastic into the water we drink. YUCK! So, what’s the answer?
Not convinced, then read this great article that gives you more info. on how plastic is effecting our bodies (not just with bottled water btw, you should think twice about storing food in plastic containers that you then reheat in the microwave.... I say buy "pyrex" glass containers and store your food in those.... the lids are plastic, but the bowls are glass, when reheating, remove the lid and viola no transference of plastic into your food which ultimately goes into your body.... food for thought!!!).

If you can, find a “natural spring” near your home, buy some glass jugs and take them with you, and fill up on all the FREE natural spring water you can get your little hands on and be a very happy you! Go to: http://www.findaspring.com/ to find springs near you! This is such a great topic, so I decided to make a separate post!!! SEE POST #6 for more info. on how to find a spring near you and get FREE, healthy spring water!!!!
Ok, if that’s not an option, then simply opt for “carbon filtering”. Use a Britta or PUR filter to filter that nasty tap water AND then add a little bit of Himalayan Salt Water mix to your water (see my post #2 for two options of how you can add Himalayan Salt to your water). You don’t have to put enough in to make it salty, but just enough that it is actively reviving your water.

Yes, water’s natural state can and has been altered by man as well! What hasn’t? Even the air we breath! Argh!
Viola, on your way to a healthier, more vital you!!!!
