water....Water....WATER!

Hey Everyone!

 I wanted to post a blog about how important drinking water is because I don't think a lot of us know how it helps our bodies. I must admit, I wasn't a huge fan of it and I wasn't drinking as much as I should. For men, they should be drinking about 3 liters (13 glasses) of water and women, 2.2 liters (9 glasses) a day. Here is a list of reasons why we should be drinking tons of water......Drink up ;-)

-Composes 75% of your brain

-Regulates your body temperature

-Makes up 83% of your blood

-Helps remove waste

-Composes 22% of your bones

-Cushions your joints

-Helps carry nutrients and oxygen to your cells

-Moistens oxygen for breathing

-Helps convert food into energy

-Protects and cushions your vital organs

-Helps your body and absorbs nutrients

-Makes up 75% of your muscles

I'm going to attempt to drink a gallon of water in one day so wish me luck! For the next few months, I will be drinking nothing but water. No soda, no juice, strictly water!
