Feeling age

Have you ever woke up in the morning and looked in the mirror and didn't like what you saw?  Well I did this morning.  I looked old and felt ugly.  As the morning went on I realized that I haven't been drinking enough water. 

Look younger - drinking water hydrates your skin

When the skin is properly hydrated, it looks plump and more radiant. Water will keep the toxins flushed out and help you to cool off through perspiration. Muscles need to have enough water to make them look full too. Deprive yourself of water and you’ll see the difference in the mirror.

Combat ailments by drinking more water

In many cases, fatigue, headaches and back pain may be caused by dehydration. If you suffer from an afternoon nod off, try drinking more water at lunch. If you or your children complain of frequent headaches, the amount of water you’re drinking could be responsible. And, muscle spasms are also caused by not being adequately hydrated.

As we age we tend to ignore our bodies and therefore do not sense our thirst as much.  A good plan is to start with drinking a glass of water every hour or an ounce of water for half our body weight.  If you weight 150 lbs you would want to drink 75 ounces of water a day, that is only 10 - 8 oz glasses.  Reach for the water instead of the coffee or soda, your body will thank you for it!
