It's summer; it's hot. Make sure we are drinking plenty of water. It is so important. A couple of glasses a day will not cut it. Drink water!!! All day; Everyday!!
*Everyone knows that our bodies are made mostly of water. If you want to be healthy and at peak performance, then we have to replenish our bodies. The human body is around 65% water. The human brain is 80% water if you can believe that. The lungs are nearly 90%. The percentage of our blood that consist of water; get ready for this; 83%. If you don't think you should have a bottle with you at all times, think again. Your health depends on it. Many things like having enough energy to get through a workout to keeping the body's system flushed out all depends on how much water we comsume daily. Cells of the body are made mostly of water. How can we expect our system to be healthy without drinking plenty of agua. The cells' healing and replenishing depends on water for transporting vitamins and minerals and other valuable nutrients.
