Did you know?

We often forget that water is such an important part of your day. Most people start off drinking a cup of coffee and forget to rehydrate with water first before consuming any other liquids.

As we sleep our bodies do a lot of work recovering from the day before. Our organs slow down and everything goes into a slight hibernation to rest and repair.

Once you wake up your bodies start to reactivate all these organs which now need hydration to get them operating optimally again. So first thing in the morning it is highly recommended to start off with at least 12-20 oz of water first before drinking anything other liquids. Especially coffee!

Coffee is a natural dehydrate. So if that is your first liquid for the day, you are now placing your body in a deficit for hydration and you will need more water later on to adjust for the lack of water in the morning. This leaves you more thirsty through out the day plus you may find yourself more tired and dragging to get through the remainder of the day. Needing more coffee to keep going.

Tomorrow try adjusting your routine and drinking some water first. I bet you feel better. Your skin wont feel as dry, and you will be less thirsty throughout your day. #water #hydrate #info #healthy #liquid
