Everyone wants to discover the anti-aging secret , but you may not expect it to be the simple task of drinking enough water through out the day.
Our bodies are made up of about 60% water (this percentage varies based on age and the individual).
Water helps make up our cells, it helps to transfer food through the digestive tract, it helps to keep our organs functioning properly, it aids in the release of toxins through the liver, and it keeps our blood running smoothly through our bodies.
Many studies have linked chronic dehydration to cardiac disorders, mental disorders, and increase risk of death.
When you do not drink enough water your body actually has to work harder.
If you want an easy solution to the aging process - STAY HYDRATED!!!
Drinking water will keep the insides of your body running smoothly and keep the outside looking youthful!
Yes, that's right, staying hydrated can help you maintain a healthy glow and supple skin throughout life!
So how much do you need to drink?
Well that depends on the individual, how hot it is outside and if you are physically active...
BUT shooting for at least 8 cups a day should keep you in a healthy range.
If it is particularly hot outside or you just sweated up a storm in a workout session, make sure you take in a some extra cups to make up for what you lost in perspiration.
If you are a caffeine drinker make sure to also add some additional cups since caffeine is a natural diuretic.
Well there it is... a simple anti-aging trick and all you need to do is fill a glass and drink up!
