Many people don’t drink the right amount of water a day. Water flushes out the toxins in your body and cleanses your insides. It also can rejuvenate and freshen your skin, nails and hair. You NEED water. So how much exactly should you drink a day? Take your weight in pounds (for example 120lbs), divide in by two (60) and that is how much water IN OUNCES you should have a day. A glass of water is 8 ounces, so for a 120lbs person, about 7.5 glasses of water a day is perfect.
Now keep in mind that you should not drink all of this at once. Aim for about one glass per hour, and don’t drink during a meal. This will interfere with the digestion of your food. Drink water 30 minutes before a meal and an hour after.
** Drink your first glass of water within 30 minutes of waking up! This will ensure a perfect start to the day.
**Throughout the day, drink cool water. This will maintain high metabolism because your body has to work harder to bring the cool water temperature down to body temperature.
And last but not least, don’t think that drinking lots of water is enough. The body benefits from obtaining water from its most natural source. So even if you can’t drink LOTS of water, replace that with eating lots of fruit (which you should do anyway). Oranges, apples, pears, and grapes all have very nutritious WATER that will give you a healthy body, mind and soul.
