Drink the ultimate Energy drink WATER. In a world of energy drinks and caffeinated beverages, water is the ultimate energy drink. Research shows that a lack of water consumption leads to fatigue and headaches, and unfortunately, most of us are walking around dehydrated without realizing it.

The human body is made up of about 70% water, not Diet Coke or double lattes. So water is the fuel source you need for increased energy and enhanced health. Every one of your body’s processes is enhanced with proper hydration. Digestion improves, your metabolism increases, and your blood flows easier. Think of water as the oil your engine needs to make everything to run properly. So how much water should we drink/? What we all have heard the eight –ounce glasses per day, this is actually a myth. Each person, based on weight and activity levels, requires different amounts of water. The formula for skin hydration is (every 10 pounds is 4 ounces of water) your total weigh divided by 10 and multiply by 4 = the total amount of water daily.  However, for every cup or glass of caffeine, 2 glasses of water on top of your total daily intake.

HYDRATION TIPS:

-Drink a cup of water when you first wake up in the morning.  Because with each sleeping breath you expel water, so this will replenish the water you lost through the night.

-Sip water every 10 or 20 minutes throughout the day. This keeps you alert, hydrate, and energized.  A little water at a time adds up to a lot over the course of a day.

-Carry a bottle of water with you in your car and take water into business meetings. This will keep you hydrated during drives and long meetings.

-Drink water instead of soda, juices, and energy drinks. You will feel the difference.

-When you feel hungry, drink water first. We often mistake thirst for hunger. When you drink water first, you will eat less and you will lose weight.
