Without proper amounts of water, your entire metabolism won’t function properly. The human body is approximately 2/3 water.

Therefore, a lack of water can cause our body’s organs to struggle to function at an optimal level. This puts stress on the liver, kidneys, heart, proper functioning of the stomach, and of course brain.

Studies show that muscle dehydration of only 3% results in a reduction in the ability to contract muscles along with a loss of speed at which our muscles can move.

Our blood becomes thicker as a result of dehydration. Thicker blood does not circulate as effectively, resulting in inadequate circulation. The brain then has a difficult time getting nutrients and oxygen.

Yawning may be the result of your brain attempting to get more oxygen. Since your brain is struggling, you may feel sleepy as well.

Avoid dehydration by simply maintaining an adequate level of fluid intake.

Eight servings of eight ounces of water per day has long been a minimum guideline. As a rule of thumb, I suggest drinking two glasses of water twenty to thirty minutes before each meal. This also helps curb appetite.

Try drinking 8 - 16 ounces of water with some lemon or lime juice first thing upon rising. It is refreshing and cleansing to the system.

Water is the one vital nutrient we simply cannot store. Keep yourself hydrated in order to achieve a maximized metabolism. Water is metabolically necessary in the fat burning process.

It is one of many aspects to having a healthy and energized you.
