Your body is made up of 40-60% water so your survival depends on you drinking enough of it!

Aside from keeping you alive, water helps maintain proper muscle tone, supplies oxygen & nutrients to your cells and rids your body of toxins.

To avoid dehydration, you need to have a balance between water gain and water loss. A healthy amount of water is 8 eight-ounce glasses per day. If you are an athlete or regularly exercise you need to drink even more than that to function properly.

Some foods known as hydrating or watery foods have a large amount of water in them to help you stay hydrated. Most fruits and vegetables would be considered watery foods. Experts have said that the proportion of watery to concentrated foods should be 80% watery to 20% concentrated.  So add lots of fruit and veggies to your grocery list this week!

To achieve total hydration, we need to look externally not just internally. Your skin should maintain a fluid balance by being properly moisturized. When your skin is moisturized it will be smooth, healthy and somewhat bouncy to the touch.  Moisturized skin has been shown to slow the signs of aging, improve skin tone and texture and protect you from harsh environmental factors. What’s not to love about that!

Follow these simple steps and feel beautiful and healthy inside and out!
