Water is so important for life. Did you know that we can survive for many days and weeks without food, but only a very few days withou****er. Our bodies are approximately 55% to 75% water. There is no function that occurs in our body withou****er!

I talk to members and coaching clients that want to maximize their weight loss. One of the best tools is to drink water. I know for me in my dieting days, I never appreciated the importance water plays in weight loss. My beverage of choice was diet soda. Water - diet soda....both fluids so what's the difference? The difference is night and day!

Water is a huge component in weight loss and maintenance. Drinking water washes our bodies of harmful products or toxins. This internal cleansing is very important for overall good health and weight managemen****er also assists in appetite management.

Water does so much more than just satisfy your thirst. Actually, if you wait to drink water until you're thirsty, you're already behind your body's natural need for hydration.

Water does a lot more than just satisfy your thirst. Among its duties, it carries nutrients throughout the body, adds moisture to body tissues, softens stools, helps cushion your joints, and aides in the regulation of body temperature. Our bodies continuously use water throughout the day. We need to replenish our bodies with water throughout the day. Sip throughout the day for regular hydration.

For me, I monitor my water intake and make certain I intake my 64 ounces each day. I have a 32 ounce bottle of water. I make sure that I drink one of the 32 ounce bottles by the end of the morning and the second one by early evening. If I'm running short, I have a built-in check by this method. For years, it has worked for me!

Do yourself, your body, and weight loss a favor - drink the best beverage of all......water.

Just a thought. I was once told your body is like a car battery if you don't keep water in it it won't stay charge. So I stay charge with waterand crystal lite lemonade. jimmy
