So, I was turned on to this gallon challenge (drinking a gallon of water a day) by another blogger. As a teacher I always struggle taking time to stop and take a drink of water. However, add a little challenge to it and I have been chugging gallons like its my job. A gallon a day at least!!!! I have broken down my day into 4-32 oz bottles (1 before lunch at school 1 after lunch at school, 1 during my workout, and 1 after I get home). This has really helped me keep track of how much water I am actually consuming.
Now why do this craziness of drinking water all day long???? Well, there are some many great health benefits to drinking water......
My Top 5 health benefits to drinking water:
1. Water helps energize muscles by maintaining the balance of fluids and electrolytes in your muscles......be strong drink water!!
2. Water helps to keep your skin looking fresh and clean. Our skin contains water and when our body is dehydrated our skin may begin to look dry and even more wrinkly! (No one wants that!!!)
3. Water helps to maintain body fluids. Our body is made of 60% water and staying hydrated aides in digestions, circulation, body temperature, and processing nutrients.
4. Water quenches your thirst without added calories, which can help with weight loss.
5. Water helps keep things moving through your body. Yes, drinking a gallon of water might have you running to the bathroom more frequently but water plays a big role in flushing our bodies of waste and keeps things flowing.
So, what do you think??? Want to join in with me and the many others doing the gallon challenge???
There's nothing to lose.
Drink water live free be strong!!!
