HIGH QUALITY H2O
Water is such an important aspect to our lives as we go about each day, especially if you are trying to exercise and eat healthy. We don't really know how just drinking water can affect our bodies but in reality it aid every aspect of our bodies! " Men should consume 120 ounces of water a day and women should consume 80 ounces." Jillian Michaels. There are many things though that can make us have to drink more than that like exercising. You should consume 12 ounces of water 2 hours before working out, then 4 to 8 ounces while working out. Finally when it's all over with you should then consume 12 ounces of water within 30 minutes after of your workout. This is because of how much you are sweating; you need to replenish your body. Another thing to know ( all you caffeine lovers out there!) you should consume 8 ounces of water for every caffeinated beverage you drink. So maybe next time you want to grab that Dr. Pepper or Mt.Dew you'll think of how much water you're going to have to drink to get it out of your system. Also when you drink caffeine it dehydrates you and leaves you at a sugar low. If you're skeptical about drinking that much water just try it and see how you feel that day. Get a water bottle fill it up with H20 and make it your best friend, take it where ever you go and in turn it will leave you feeling healthier, hydrated and having more energy!
