As usual, I was mindlessly scrolling through Facebook and I saw this meme and it made me think. I’m 24 years old and I would have to agree with this meme. I’m kind of in the middle of the last two panels. At 24 years old I would agree that Alcohol is the adult drink, but at the same time (sometimes after a night of drinking) water is the real MVP. With that being said, how much water do you drink a day? Are you aware that your body needs approximately a gallon of water to be healthy? Water has so many amazing benefits and so many people my age neglect drink this wonderful beverage because they simply don’t like the taste. I did some research and couldn't find a set answer on how much water a person should drink daily, but after rephrasing my Google search I found that a person should drink half their body weight in water. To some, that sounds like way too much water, but to others, it's the perfect amount. In the past 5 months, I've increased my daily water intake. I try to drink at least 120 ounces of water a day. I start drinking water from the moment I wake up in the morning. I usually drink a 17 or 18-ounce cup of water right when I wake up. Since started I started drinking water when I wake up I have noticed a few wonderful benefits. First, I have seen some weight loss. Now, I know what you're thinking, weight loss consists of more than just drinking water, well that, along with my healthier eating has helped. I've also noticed that my skin is a lot clearer of acne than it was before. Don't get me wrong, I still break out here and there but it's nowhere near as excessive as it used to be. The last benefit I noticed is I felt more energized. Those of you who know me personally may find this benefit hard to believe, but even though I may look and say I feel tired, you have no idea how I was prior to drinking more water. So why don't you give drinking more water a try? Maybe you will experience some of these amazing benefits too if you drink more water.
