Ruthie’s Step 4

Ruthie’s Step 4…Here Comes the Flood!

Water is the next step! 6 to 8- 1 cup measurements daily. When you drink all the water you need, you will very quickly notice a decrease in your appetite, possibly even on the first day! If you're serious about becoming leaner and healthier, drinking water is an absolute must. If you're doing everything else right and still not seeing results, this might just what's missing.
Drinking water either sparkling or flat and perhaps with a twist of citrus is a great way to satisfy your thirst. I personally like a twist of lemon in my water with Splenda. You can experiment to make it more appealing. Sometimes we are just thirsty and we mistake it for hunger. I suggest drinking a cup of water before each meal.
Here are some facts about water….from an article:
Apart from 60-70% of your body being composed of water, water has an extensive range of functions essential to life.
• Assists digestion, absorption and assimilation of food. If you don't drink enough water you can't get the full benefit of nutrients in the food you eat.
• Assists excretion of waste from bowel and kidneys. If you don't drink enough water you get constipated and put your kidneys under stress.
• Regulates body temperature. If you don't drink enough water you compromise the evaporation process you skin uses to keep you cool.
• Your blood is 92% water. This is your body's transport system distributing nutrients around the body.
• Body secretions and digestive juices are almost entirely water.
Just thought I would throw that in!
