How many of you, when you go to a restaurant and the waiter/waitress asks you what you want to drink ask for water?
How many you would select a glass of water out a fridge filled with soda, fruit juices, or beer?
My guess is probably not very many you actually choose water over the other options.
I used to be the same way.
I used to never drink water, and would always choose another beverage if I had the option.
However, after I began to hear about the importance of water in our lives, I began to choose water whenever I needed something to drink.
I am not saying I never have anything other than water when I am thirsty, but the majority of the time I choose water over any other beverage.
Today, I plan to hopefully convince you that water is the smartest choice of beverage and I hope to persuade you to begin incorporating more water in your daily lives.
Now, for those of you who do drink water; do you actually get enough water that your body needs on a daily basis?
Well according to mayoclinic, everyone should strive to drink at least eight 8 ounce glasses of water a day.
There are different regulations that some sources provided which depended on age, sex, physical activities and health status; but as long as you drink the eight 8 ounce glasses a day it will greatly improve your body’s functions.
This may seem like a lot of water, but when you think about how much of your body is made up of water it does not seem as bad.
Water makes up approximately 60% of your body weight.
So if you weight around 150 pounds, which means water makes up 90 pounds of your weight.
I bet the eight 8 ounce glasses of water a day don’t really seem like that much anymore.
There are so many benefits from drinking the adequate amount of water on a daily basis.
Drinking water increases energy and relieves fatigue.
This is due to the fact that your brain is mostly water (approximately 70%).
Drinking water helps you think, focus, and concentrate better
