You can always start your Twelve months anytime.
Each month Meek Chiropractic will post one challenge for each person to do for 30 days. They will be simple health challenges. Each Monday we will post on Facebook a tip to keep you on track with the challenge. The group is a place where everyone can talk, ask questions, seek advice, help each other. All questions and answers will not come from Meek Chiropractic. We just want to help get the conversation started.
We understand most diet programs or health groups are overwhelming. Money is tight, life is busy, and focusing on your health is not a priority at the moment. But it should be.
August-Challenge One for 30
Drink 8 glasses of water a day-At this point, don't give up other drinks you love. Just add water.
Seems simple enough. But most people don't do it. Americans know how much they should drink and why they need to drink it. However, only 34% actually do and 10% don't drink any at all.
Today we are not going to focus on the negative, let's look at the positive.
Top 10 Benefits of Drinking Water: Don't Medicate, Hydrate!
(From MindBodyGreen.com)
1. Increases Energy & Relieves Fatigue
– Since your brain is mostly water, drinking it helps you think, focus
and concentrate better and be more alert. As an added bonus, your energy
levels are also boosted!
2. Promotes Weight Loss –
Removes by-products of fat, reduces eating intake (by filling up your
tummy if consumed prior to meals), reduces hunger (hello natural
appetite suppressant!), raises your metabolism and has zero calories!
3. Flushes Out Toxins – Gets rid of waste through sweat and urination which reduces the risk of kidney stones and UTI’s (urinary tract infections).
4. Improves Skin Complexion –
Moisturizes your skin, keeps it fresh, soft, glowing and smooth. Gets
rid of wrinkles. It’s the best anti-aging treatment around!
5. Maintains Regularity – Aids in digestion as water is essential to digest your food and prevents constipation.
6. Boosts Immune System
– A water guzzler is less likely to get sick. And who wouldn’t rather
feel healthy the majority of the time? Drinking plenty of water helps
fight against flu, cancer and other ailments like heart attacks.
7. Natural Headache Remedy – Helps relieve and prevent headaches (migraines & back pains too!) which are commonly caused by dehydration.
8. Prevents Cramps & Sprains - Proper hydration helps keep joints lubricated and muscles more elastic so joint pain is less likely.
9. Puts You in a Good Mood – When the body is functioning at its best, you will feel great and be happy!
10. Save Money! - Water is FREE! Even if you choose bottled/filtered water, it’s STILL cheaper than that high sugar and fat-filled latte!
