WATERWATERWATERWATER drink more water!

Water.

It's everywhere, some you can drink and some you can't. But I'm not writing to you to talk about the quality of water.

I'm writing to you to express the importance of adequate amounts of water for your body.

Yes it is good for you, but it is also a vital weapon against fat loss and achieving that lean look you always wanted.

Water stimulates nutrients to be taken to the muscles for recovery and growth from an intense workout.

Water keeps the bodily functions running efficiently and the metabolism runs high in a hydrated body.

Your body doesn't have to work hard to perform vital functions such as blood flow, heart rate, and other acts.

In your workout, a hydrated body will perform at a much higher rate than will a dehydrated body, enabling you to train with more intensity.

Other benefits of proper hydration include:

• less wrinkles in skin
• healthier joints
• clearer mind
• more energy
• less aches and pains

You can also avoid those liquid calories by drinking water instead of soda, fruit juices, and energy drinks. I often get questions as to why I drink so much water, and my immediate thought is to ask why they drink so little, but I explain to them that the benefits far outweigh the consequences (go to the bathroom often).

Now you don't have to have 13 Kleen Kanteen bottles in your refrigerator, but you do want to have about .5 to .6 ounces of water per pound of body weight per day, so if you haven't had your water yet today, get drinking.

Yours in Fitness
