DEHYDRATION
Chronic mild to moderate dehydration can be the root
cause of several health conditions such as faulty
digestion, fatigue, achy joints, dry skin and inability to
lose weight. The human body is comprised of about 70
per cent water. Simply put, next to air, water is the most
vital substance our system needs to function properly. A
fast and effective way to put pressure on your
metabolism, lose weight and flatten your tummy is to
drink a minimum of 8 glasses of fresh, clean water per
day. If you are not a water lover and drinking feels more
like a chore, try to incorporate water dense foods into
your diet. Foods such as watermelon (made up of 92 per
cent water), melons, celery, bok choy and soup broths
are very hydrating and nourishing. In addition trying
adding sliced lemons, limes or cucumbers to your water
to enhance taste and for their natural astringent effect.
