1. Hunger is the sensation felt by your body when your dehydrated. It triggers you to eat which in turn triggers you to drink something. (Obviously sometimes hunger sensations mean your hungry). If you ate less than 2 hours prior, try a big glass of water.
2. The average person should drink 80-90 oz of water daily. That's about 3 nalgene bottles.
3. Caffeine and alcohol will dehydrate your body. Stick to water!
4. The body requires adequate hydration for organ function.
5. Your skin also benefits from hydration and the elimination of soda from your diet...try it!
Start hydrating your body today! Yes, you will pee alot the first 24 to 48 hours. Once the body has flushed out the water it's been storing (in case of emergency), you'll feel great and you'll notice fewer trips to the bathroom!
If you've taken the water challenge and drink 90oz a day please leave a comment for those who aren't so sure to read.
