Show me a woman with beautiful hair and skin and I'll show you a gallon of water. It's no secret that our bodies are made up of mostly water so it stands to reason that the more we drink, the better. It has been a pretty hot summer thus far, which means water is a staple. I wanted to share a few tips from celeb nutritionist, Kimberly Snyder, I read recently.
- We can lose up to three quarts of water per day - warmer weather and activities increase the amount we lose so up your water intake during the summer months.
- Drinking more water will provide nourishment to your hair and skin. Dehydration dries out skin and can lead to under-eye circles and wrinkles. Lack of water makes it more difficult for your hair to grow in healthy, thick and full.
- Allow your body time to hydrate. After you drink water, try to wait at least 20 minutes before eating so your body has time to absorb. *Especially after hitting the gym.
I plan on increasing my daily water intake substantially. I can always tell when I'm slipping in that area. My face suffers first. One other thing I am going to implement is replacing my morning cup of Joe with a mug of hot water and lemon. Lemon is a citrus fruit which is of course high in Vitamin C and helps flush out your system. It is a great way to start the morning off well hydrated! * Note, follow with fresh water if you take supplements.
