Water Challenge Part 2

**Im at 60 already for the day

but about to take my 16 ounce shake

then 20 more ounces before bed

The obvious benefit of drinking water is that it replenishes an ingredient that is essential to our body. Almost 60% of your body is comprised of water, so how can it not be important? In the course of a day, our body depletes itself of water through urine, sweat, and normal cellular activity. Lack of adequate water slows down our metabolism and interferes with healing, toxin removal, removal of old cells and replacement with new tissue. Therefore, drinking plenty of water is an important part of both daily life and toxic cleansing.

How much water should I drink?
The answer to this question initially surprised me. At a minimum, to prevent dehydration, you should drink (in ounces) the number of pounds of your body weight divided by two. To calculate the number of 8 ounce glasses you should drink per day, divide your body weight in pounds by 16 and round up. For example, if you weigh 160 pounds, you should be drinking 10 glasses of water, each 8 ounces.

If you are dehydrated, you should see an immediate benefit of drinking water. First, your bowel movements should become more regular. Next, if you are prone to breakouts, these should clear up. Notice how your skin is less dry? And these are only a few of the visible benefits of drinking water.
