Hello beauties!! This post is all about how important water is for you and the best times to hydrate to maximize its usefulness!
The benefits of water I will list below are scientifically proven:
- Drinking enough water is proven to help a person’s physical performance.
- Hydration has a major effect on energy levels and brain function.
- Drinking water can help prevent and treat headaches
- Water has a big effect on bowel functions and can help with constipation.
- Drinking water before and after a night (or day if thats when your prefer) of drinking can help prevent hangovers!!
- Lastly, water can aid in weight loss.
Most of these facts are widely known, however, what I found very interesting and that I did not know was the best TIMES to drink water. Now obviously you can and should drink water throughout the day but these are just a few tricks to maximize water’s benefits.
- 2 glasses of water after waking up can help kick start your internal organs for the day.
- 1 glass before going to bed can help prevent strokes and heart attacks.
- 1 glass of water 20 or 30 minutes before a meal can aid in digestion.
- 1 glass before taking a shower or bath can help lower blood pressure.
* Tip: when taking a shower, to help rev your metabolism, try turning the water all the way to cold at the end of your shower. This will do a number of things including help your metabolism, seal your pores in your skin, and seal your hair cuticles.
I hope that this information is useful for you!! Let me know if you have any suggestions for future blog posts!
