Something as simple as drinking water, pure, fresh, clean water, and the benefits to our bodies are amazing! I want to share with you how I personally feel when I am properly hydrated. Energized! My body "feels light" is the best way I can describe it. On those rare occasions when I become absorbed in a mental task and do not drink enough water I experience the following:
- headache;
- fluid retention;
- poor sleep quality;
- joint and muscle discomfort;
- brain fog;
- fatigue; and
- moodiness.
I also notice my sense of well-being is affected. I am aware of this the most when I am dehydrated because I typically view life from a positive perspective. When negative thoughts begin occurring I immediately notice it. That is another way this beautiful mechanism we call a body communicates with us, and a great communicator it is!
Science and research have provided us a solid foundation regarding the effects of proper hydration. Adequate amounts of water daily promote optimal health by aiding in digestion, regulates blood pressure and body temperature, assists in maintaining a healthy urinary tract, and protects and serves as a cushion for joints, organs, and other tissues.
Drink water to feel energized!
To Your Health
