Drinking more water daily is one of the easiest and best practices you can do to increase your health and comfort! Increasing WATER Element in your tissues helps them to do their jobs and to function even better.
If you are feeling:
- creaky
- tight muscles and soft tissues
- aching joints or injuries
- constipated
- toxic
- fatigue
- weak
- foggy thinking
- unfocused mind
- dull or wrinkled skin
Water may be your answer! I talk to many people who when they ache, they reach for anti-inflammatory meds before trying to drink more water! Water can be your medicine, and it has no side effects, is free and calorie-free.
If you have any pain or discomfort at all in your body, try drinking five times more water than you usually do for a few days, then see how your body feels.
HOW MUCH WATER TO DRINK DAILY
Authorities usually recommend eight 8-ounce glasses (2 liters, or half a gallon). This is called the 8×8 rule and is very easy to remember. We have an easy trick to remember how much you are drinking throughout the day.
At my house we filter our water in the morning, filling 3 large mason jars each, and then throughout the day we drink from our own jars. We know we need to drink one+ in the morning, one+ in the afternoon, then the rest after dinner (1/2 jar or so in order to sleep without needing to arise to pee!). You’ll know how much you’ve drank and how much more you need to drink.
If you drink coffee or alcohol, increase the amount you drink as they both dehydrate and steal water from your body.
Happy Water Drinking!
