Your body is made up of 60% water and you lose the essential fluid every minute of every day as you breathe, digest, and hopefully work up a sweat. It is important that you put back every drop. Starting now, drink eight 230 ml glasses of water every single day that's the minimum your body needs daily. That is the non-negotiable sugar savvy hydration Mantra. Many times when you think you're hungry, sleepy, depressed, and/or irritated, you're actually just dehydrated. Drinking enough water actually helps you combat water retention. Sound counter intuitive, but think about it. If you are running aground in a semi-dehydrated state all the time, your body is going to hang on to every single drop, giving you that puffy, unhealthy appearance. When you are properly hydrating, your body gets the message that all systems are operating smoothly and it continues its work of flushing out your system and riding itself of the excess fluids.
If your goal is to lose weight water is must. When you're dehydrated, your body sends out signals that your need assistance. Many people mistake those thirsty SOS signals for hunger and take in hundreds of extra calories. They also don't solve the real problems-thirst!
