One of the easiest, cheapest, simplest daily habits you can do is….hydrating!!! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I recommend starting the day off with a large glass of water or lemon water. I used to buy lemons, cut them in half, squeeze the juice – what a pain! Fortunately I was informed of the Italian Volcano lemon juice and you can find it many places, including Amazon, which is where I buy this one <\/a>as it comes in a two pack and lasts a long time! Way easier to pour a little bit out and fill the rest of the glass with water versus trying to keep fresh lemons around!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommendation is 8-11 glasses of water a day but a better guide is half to one of your body weight in ounces. For example if you weight 160 lbs, then you would aim for 80oz-160oz of water a day! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is a wide range because of course the amount of water could vary depending on your needs, for instance if it’s hotter, you sweat a lot, you are exercising more, etc. Personally, I aim for a minimum of 60% of my body weight to 70% of my body weight in ounces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So if you start off your day with a large glass of water, or lemon water, you are well on your way to your goal! I will admit to be sure you are drinking enough water, it does take making it a focus and dedicated effort! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This really is one of the best ways to start your morning as after sleeping all night (hopefully at least 7-8hrs \ud83d\ude42 your body is literally parched and in need of water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our bodies are approximately 60% water! That’s over half! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That in itself tells you how important water is but if that’s not enough here are other reasons water is so important: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
