Water & Hydration💧💧
•
•
I get asked all the time, “How much water should I be drinking a day?”
•
Water consumption for a day is very individualized for weight, gender, and age. For example, a male weighing 250lbs will have different water needs than a female that weighs 125lbs.
•
Water consumption is also effected based on how active you are. We lose fluids and electrolytes through sweat, waste removal, metabolism, and breathing. Water is important for digestion, lubricates our joints, body cooling, for every cell in our body, etc.
•
I could get into specifics on how you should be drinking 90.34 fl oz of water each day, but let’s make this simple and realistic.
1. Start by making your water consumption easy by getting a half gallon or 1 gallon jug. This will avoid having to fill up a 16-20 oz water bottle 6-7 times a day.
2. Understand that we consume water in other ways such as through food (fruit’s especially), coffee, tea, etc.
3. Set timers/reminders on your phone to help you drink throughout the day
4. Drink a glass of water when you wake up, and with each of your main meals.
Try these techniques out to help with your daily water consumption👌🏼
