H20 – The Fuel Of Life

Breastfeeding I am always thirsty, but now that I’m adding in an extra element I’m finding just how important that natural hydration is to life. To my life!

Did you know that our bodies are made mostly of water? Weird to think of isn’t it. Part of my Lifetime Challenge has been to be more aware of what I put into my body and how I move…and groove! I’ve been keeping water by my side every day- and wow do I notice the difference. My skin has been clearing up and hasn’t been so dry. My hunger has actually been going down – and yes I’ve been loosing weight.

So before you pick up that brownie, slice of cake, or even sandwich- have a glass of water. Many times it’s not hunger it’s actually thirst! Also, I’ve been trying a tip I heard when watching The Biggest Loser – chew gum. When I’m having some major craving attacks I’ll chomp on some gum and find that keeping my mouth busy with that help me forget about that brownie.

Afraid of how drinking more water may affect your wallet? Drink tap water – filtered of course for me. I love using my pitcher water filters. I can fill them up and place then in my refrigerator and then I always have cold water ready. It’s more eco-friendly then running your tap waiting for the perfect cold temp- and of course filtered water tastes better. Of course it does- that’s why we buy bottled water. Don’t forget bottled water is nothing more than a waste of plastic and it’s just filtered tap water!
