The Importance of Drinking Water

We’ve all heard that you’re supposed to drink 8 glasses of water a day at 8 ounces each - so 64 ounces. That’s fine if you weigh 128 pounds. To figure up how much water you should be drinking, simply take your body weight and divide it in half. That’s how many ounces of water you need in a day. That being said, here are six reasons why it’s so important to get all those ounces in.

• Fluid Balance
Simply put, water helps keep all your cells hydrated to perform their functions. Roughly 60% of your body’s composition is water so not having enough of it causes everything in your day to suffer. Headaches, joint pain, and trouble thinking are all things that may be helped by proper hydration.

• Digestion
Water will help keep you regular by dissolving fats and soluble fiber. It also helps the kidneys and liver to perform their jobs of flushing waste.

• Thirst Disguised as Hunger
Thirst is often mistaken as hunger, and more food is then consumed when really all you needed was more water. If you feel the urge to grab a snack, try some water first. If the hunger persists then you can take care of it.

• It Could Aid in Weight Loss
Studies have shown that those who drank water before a meal lose weight faster than those that don’t. The water makes you feel full faster and also aids in speeding up your metabolism to keep things moving.

• Clearer Skin
Staying hydrated can help your skin look brighter and cleaner by allowing cell regeneration to take place. Sweating is another way the body flushes waste from the body and if you’re dehydrated you can’t sweat properly. This can lead to clogged pores and ducts with lead to breakouts.

• Muscle Fatigue
Just like all those other cells we mentioned, muscles need water to function properly too. Not keeping up on your water consumption will lead to poor performance and tiring out quickly.

I like that you said that you could properly digest your consumed food by drinking a sufficient amount of water. The other day, my brother informed me that he hoped to find a potable water solution to provide proper protection and safety for their home water supply. He asked if I had thoughts on the best option to achieve safe water. I value your helpful potable water article, I'll tell him it will be much better if he consults a trusted potable water service for more details about the process.

    Amanda is a mother of three (10, 7, and 5) and has been married for 14 years.   My weight loss journey started July 17, 2008, one day after my daughter's first birthday.  Tipping the scales at 235 pounds at 5'3, being an over weight, over tired, out of shape role model no longer appealed to me and I knew it was time for a change.   Three pregnancies later, I had lost a total of 105 pounds.  I had run 2 marathons and dozens of half marathons.  Something was missing.  I was thin, but I wasn't fit.  I wasn't healthy.  I could feel it in my insides.  I was 136 pounds and a size 8.  Something didn't add up.   I got my certification in personal training, nutrition, weight management, and dove into supplementation and whole foods.  90 days later, I gained 10 pounds and lost two pants sizes (8 to a 4). 
     
    Continuing on this path, all of my clients wanted to know how I was doing it.  I always dreamed of creating a business that truly added value to people and improved their health.  My husband, Grant, and I decided it was time to take that leap.

    December 9, 2016, Simply Prepped Meals was born.  Based around the mission of providing whole food based nutrition to people's doorsteps, we set out to create a new idea that fast food didn't have to be expensive or bad for you.   Six months later, we built our permanent location in Cynthiana, IN.  Then, January 2, 2018, we entered into a partnership with the YMCA of Southern Indiana to continue spreading the word of meal prep and eating with purpose. 

    Amanda coaches individually as well as continues to drive their business.  Any questions about personal coaching can be directed to her at amanda@simplypreppedmeals.com
