EAT CLEAN - HYDRATION

Water works hard in our bodies:

facilitates digestion
regulates body temperature (sweat)
baths our cells to keep them functioning

You are dehydrated when you experience


Head Aches
Mood Swings
Lethargy
Confusion
Dry Lips
Constipation

How much water should you drink?

Your body weight divided in half - that is how many ounces of water you should drink in a day
for Example - 140 pounds = 70 ounces or 9 cups/day

TIP - if you are having a craving drink a glass of water before you stuff your face!!


keep your water clean - avoid the "dirty" drinks like juices, pop, sports drinks and alcohol

Flavour up your clean water with:

Lemon, lime, oranges, cucumbers
A splash of fruit juice, Caffeine free herbal tea bags, peppermint leaves
on occasion try some mineral water
