It's really hot right now where I live and the temp is supposed to be 100 to 102 today. I saw this photo on pinterest but couldn't figure out how to upload it.....LOL. So I thought I would repost it anyway as a reminder for us to get in our water. It's especially important during this type of weather.

Drink Water Because...

It suppresses appetite
It aids in digestion
It fights bloating
It tones and helps your muscles work
It flushes toxins out
It helps reduce cholesterol
It helps your liver function properly
It stops you from confusing hunger and thirst

Have a good strong week!

    Thank you for this. I've really struggled with water these past few weeks and I don't know why. Well, yes I do. I purchased a case of Diet Cokes - that's why. Water really does make such a huge difference.

    Simply Put. If food is the Gasoline for you body... then Water is the oil. With out it your body will lock up and burn out. Water is vital, and can not be replaced by soda, or any sports drink...

    Drink water and lots of it.

    I am drinking Metroelectro or Smart Water everyday to get the electrolytes in as well! I love my water! I even like being in the restroom all day long because I know it is evidence that the water is making my body stronger by doing all those things you stated!

    I drink ALOT of water for all of these reasons but when my son asked me if I have to go to the bathroom @ night often too ~ I said yes. He said well think of this Mom ~ you are still moving even in your sleep!! LOL :drinker:

    LOL! I clearly am not drinking enough water then because I sleep like a log. I did run across another good reason to drink more water though. According to another post a few weeks back it helps keep your complexion clear. I'm all for that in 104 degree heat!

    We have had record breaking heat 2 or 3 days this week up to 106 (today) with heat index 110. Needless to say I have been drinking my water. 16 glass = 128oz. I only get up 1 times during the night maybe 2. I have almost talked myself out of doing Zumba because of being so hot, BUT I decided that the heat just helps me sweat more. :-) Thanks for the reminder of what water does for our body!
