Are you drinking enough water?

-
Most of us are probably not drinking enough water. I know I don't. There are many reasons why water is something we all need more of.
 
1. It makes you feel full. If you are thirsty your brain may actually get confused and tell you that you are hungry. The next time you feel like you need a snack reach for 8 oz of water instead. 

2. It can fight headaches. If you get dehydrated it can cause the brain to pull away from the skull causing a mild headache or even a migraine. Drink more water at the onset of a headache. 

3. Is your skin dry? Do you suffer from fine lines, acne, psoriasis, eczema? Make sure you stay hydrated. The water flushes toxins from the skin and helps it keep the proper PH balance and lubrication. 

4. Tired? Not having enough water can affect energy levels and mood. Not thinking clearly and feel like you need a nap. You could be getting dehydrated.

5. Do you suffer from constipation, bladder or kidney infections? Keeping the body lubricated and hydrated can help ease these issues that many people suffer from. 

These are just a few of the reasons why it is important for you to drink more water every day.  
How much water should you be drinking each day? I was always told 8, 8 oz. glasses per day. I recently saw something that said one 8 oz. glass per 20 pounds which is a little more tailored for individual size. So if you weigh 160 then 8 glasses should do the trick. Let's all get busy and start drinking more water. I have mine right next to me.

How are you feeling during these winter months? I get a little down when it is cold and dreary. Make sure you are getting enough vitamin D. Something a lot of us miss out on during the darker days of winter. Try to get out of the house unless you are not snowed in. A little human contact will make you feel better. You can do some giving just by being kind. Try to be inspired. Share a smile with a stranger. Tell 5 people something you appreciate about them. Call someone on the phone, or make a short video and tell them thank you for something they did and send it to them. It will make you feel happy and they will be happy to hear that thank you and see your smiling face. Share kindness all around you. Write in a journal about how you feel. There are so many little ways to help the mood be better. You wil...
