Do you actually drink the daily recommended amount of water?
I know I definitely don't!
According to WebMD: “In general, you should try to drink between half an ounce and an ounce of water for each pound you weigh, every day."
That being said, I weigh about 122 lbs., so I should be drinking between 61-122 ounces of water everyday.
According to Authority Nutrition and the 8x8 Rule, we should drink 8 glasses of water that are 8 ounces (64 oz. total) each. That's about two liters, or half a gallon of water.
Why, you may ask, have I been looking into this? Well, I am always dehydrated. Because I am always dehydrated I am constantly tired and get chronic headaches. When I go to sleep, I wake up al test once, and when my alarm sounds in the morning I have the absolute hardest time getting out of bed. I also lack motivation, desire and ambition to carry out simple tasks like returning phone walls or email. Not to mention lately I have been suffering from extremely dry skin, random acne breakouts and chapped itchy lips.
I've heard through the grape vine that not only can drinking the recommended amount of water daily improve all those things I suffer from above, but it can also improve other aspects of your life, such as decrease the amount of stored fat in your legs and tummy and filter more impurities out of your body.
My goal will be to go a whole week (then hopefully a whole month) drinking at least 64 ounces of water everyday.
I am looking forward to hopefully seeing some major improvements. I understand that the will take time (much more than a week or month), but I am ready for the challenge.
It's time for me to make a valid effort to improve my health and overall well being.
