If you’re anything like me, you are feeling a collective heaviness in the air right now. It’s a difficult time to be a feeling, compassionate human. We can do our small part every day in being caring and kind towards others. That said, we may not be taking the best care of ourselves lately. I know, for me, I have been challenged to keep up my basic routines, things like getting plenty of water, taking care of my skin, eating well, and resting.So let this email serve as your reminder: you must take care of yourself first, to show up your best in this world, and in order to care for others.I loved this quote I read today. “Whatever you do, don’t go numb, don’t tun cynical. Allow yourself to feel it all- the beauty, the love, the loss. Ne brave enough to stay sensitive” There is one simple thing you can do daily. Have some water, like right now. No really! The hidden powers of hydration When you have enough water, you’ll experience an improved mood and brain function, better digestion, and a proven ability to manage a healthy weight. If you aren’t hydrating your mental and physical well-being will be negatively impacted. That leads to more stress and lots of other negative health impacts. I KNOW you’re way beyond the basic level of wellness, but maybe you, like me, aren’t taking the best care of yourself right now. But there’s some cool research on water’s superpowers that took me by surprise, and I wanted to share. Here’s an inside look at the powerful ways staying hydrated helps maximize your body’s potential – specifically when it comes to your healthy weight goals. Read on for all the tips… 1. Boost metabolism Water is the medium in which all your metabolic functions occur. One study found that drinking half a liter of water increases your resting energy expenditure by 30% for 90 minutes!Looking for an extra metabolic boost? Add some green tea to your water. It’s been shown to support thermogenesis (the rate at which you burn calories). 2. It boosts workout effectiveness Water supports performance, and it’s important for preserving optimal muscle tissue. Being insufficiently hydrated has been shown to reduce exercise performance: it shortens the time to exhaustion, decreases muscle power, and harms anaerobic endurance.Electrolytes are important for rehydration and helping your body hold on to water. When you sweat, you lose these important minerals. Replace them by adding Pique’s B•T Fountain to your water. Read all about why I love it here. 3. It helps remove waste Water transports nutrients to your cells, but it also helps toxins and waste move along. If you’re depriving your body of enough water, it can’t keep these things moving at an optimal level.If you’re struggling with regular, healthy digestion, try adding some black tea to your morning routine. The theaflavins support regularity and help keep things moving… 4. It’s a natural appetite suppressant Most people think this only works because water fills your belly, which “tricks” you into feeling full. That’s actually not the full story!As evolved as we are, we still have some basic wiring in our brain when it comes to hunger and thirst. In a nutshell, sometimes when your body is thirsty, your brain can interpret the signal as hunger. So, if you respond to a hunger craving with some water first, you can wait a few minutes and see if you’re still hungry, or if the craving has subsided. Special offer!
