It is true; you can stop the signs of aging with something as simple as watching how much water you are drinking on a daily basis. You see your body is designed to naturally repair and heal itself. Your body is made up of cells that are always replacing themselves and they can either produce stronger or
weaker cells to take over. As you age, your body needs more help in regenerating those cells. Water is the best way to help your body with cell reproduction.
How much water is enough?
It is recommended that your drink at least half of your body weight in ounces of water everyday. However I like to make sure I drink at least that and add a
few extra ounces everyday to really stay as hydrated as possible. Remaining fully hydrated at all times helps your skin to remain soft and free of those
pesky wrinkles that come over time. Not only does pure water help to reduce signs of aging, it also improves your body in many other areas of health. You maybe asking right now, "how am I going to drink that much water everyday?" That is a completely understandable question that many feel like they either won't be able to drink that much, or don't enjoy drinking water enough for that. This is my recommendation that I found really helped me. I fill up water bottles that equal more than the amount I need to drink that day. After all, we want to help our anti aging battle anyway we can. So, we'll fill up our water bottles, and carry them with us through out the day. Some people also find it hard to drink plain water; you can add a squeeze of fresh lemon to add a little flavor to you water. Filtered water is recommended, and you should stay away from pre-flavored waters as many of them contain juices and sugars that will not help you with anti aging! The other suggestion I have for anti aging with water is that you drink at least two cups of room temperature water as this helps in detoxification of the body as well.
Other Benefits of Water
A secret I recently learned about drinking water is that you can use it as a "comfort food". Many people find that when they are stressed out they eat because a full stomach produces a feeling of comfort. However when eating, more times than not, we are tempted to grab foods that are loaded with sugar, high carbohydrates and white flour. Eating a lot of these foods is really hard on your body and can degenerate cell growth. Not to mention these foods are fattening and can also add on a few extra pounds which no one really wants. The best thing to do is when you are feeling stressed and overwhelmed is to drink down as much water was possible, it will help fill your stomach to give you that comfort and it will once again help you with the anti-aging process! |
