The Water Challenge

Let’s chat water!!
It’s one of the best things you can do for your health.
Did you know that water is one of the most important nutrients your body needs? Without it, you’ll only survive about 3 days.
A great rule of thumb is that you should be drinking half of your body weight in ounces of water each day. So if you weigh 160 lbs, you’ll need 80 oz of water per day.
Water does all of the following:
Lubricates the joints
Forms saliva and mucous
Delivers oxygen through your body
Boosts skin health
Boosts productivity
Flushes waste
Helps the digestive system
Regulates body temperature
Cushions the brain and tissues
Maintains blood pressure
Reduces fatigue
Transports minerals and nutrients
Helps kidney function
Over the weekend, I attended a wellness course and even though I already drink a ton of water each day, I really learned how important it is to start your day with water!
So, I’m launching off a NOVEMBER WATER CHALLENGE!
Each morning, you’ll consume 20 oz of filtered water, plain/unflavored, and room temperature before drinking anything else! Yup, no more starting your day with coffee!
This is one of the easiest and cheapest things you can do for your health!
When you do this, you’ll be improving the function of joints, ligaments, and muscles since they’re dehydrated from sleeping!
Why can’t you flavor the water? Because your digestive system will be triggered and will begin to use it for digestion. And we want to hydrate the rest of our body first!!
I have included two graphics for you to use to keep track of your daily water! One is dated, one is not. Screenshot them and check off each day you complete!!
