The amount of water people need per day is up for debate,
but studies suggest adults need nine to 16 cups of H2O. However this
number varies depending on activity level, age, and how much water
people are consuming in coffee, tea, or water-rich veggies and fruit.
Here’s how to keep yourself hydrated: Begin by drinking a glass of water
as soon as you wake up, and 30 minutes before eating any big meal.
(This will help control appetite,
too.) Get in the habit of keeping a water bottle on hand at all times.
And if the taste beings to bore, spice up the taste buds with a squeeze
of citrus to the glass! Before you know it, all the benefits of water
will be right at your fingertips… and in your body.
The benefits really are endless. (Just take a look!)
Fluid balance
Roughly 60 percent of the body is made of water.
Drinking enough H2O maintains the body’s fluid balance, which helps
transport nutrients in the body, regulate body temperature, digest food,
and more.
Calorie control
Forget other diet tricks—drinking water could also help with weight loss. Numerous studies have found a connection between water consumption and losing a few pounds
. The secret reason? Water simply helps people feel full, and as a result consume fewer calories.
Muscle fuel
Sweating at the gym causes muscles to lose water. And when the muscles don’t have enough water, they get tired
. So for extra energy, try drinking water to push through that final set of squats.
Clearer skin
Certain toxins in the body can cause the skin to inflame, which results in clogged pores and acne
. While science saying water makes the skin wrinkle free is contradictory, water does flush out these toxins and can reduce the risk of pimples.
Kidney function
Our kidneys process 200 quarts of blood daily, sifting out waste and transporting urine to the bladder. Yet, kidneys need enough fluids to clear away what we don’t need in the body. Let's drink to that!
Move over coffee—water can help fight those tired eyes too
. One of the most common symptoms of dehydration is tiredness. Just another reason to go for the big gulp! (Not the 7-11 kind.)
Hangover help
If booze has got the best of you, help a hangover with a glass of water to hydrate the body and stop that pounding headache.
Pain prevention
A little water can really go a long way. Aching joints and muscle cramps and strains can all occur if the body is dehydrated
.
Water may help with decongestion and dehydration, helping the body bounce back when feeling under the weather. Just beware—drinking fluids hasn’t been scientifically proven to beat colds in one swoop, so don’t swap this for a trip to the doctor or other cold remedies.
Brain boost
A study in London
found a link between students bringing water into an exam room and
better grades, suggesting H2O promotes clearer thinking. While it’s unclear if drinking the water had anything to do with a better score, it doesn’t hurt to try it out!
Water is so beneficial, so easy, so free yet so easily overlooked. It’s
really a no brainer (actually your brain is 90% water!!!). Your body is
about 70% water, the majority of your blood and every cell in your body
is composed of water. Therefore, you need water to function properly.
Without
the sun, there will be no life on earth. Surya Namaskar or 'Sun
Salutation'is a very ancient technique of paying respect or expressing
gratitude to the sun that is the source of all forms of life on the
planet. Symbolically, the sun becomes our source of energy as well.
About the history of this technique, it has been said by the ancient rishis of India that the different parts of the body are governed by different devas (divine impulses or divine light).

hard enough. Staying healthy and fit is even harder. Until you get into a
good rhythm and form healthy habits, it can be challenging to figure
out how to stay at your physical best without obsessing over it.
Dont Pick processed foods at the grocery store
All the foods we eat are processed in some way, but foods that undergo chemical processing,
which means they are made from ingredients that aren’t real, thus
making them high in sugar and low in the nutrients we actually need to
fuel our bodies and keep us healthy, should be avoided.
As a
general rule, try to limit the number of prepackaged, nonperishable food
items you have in your grocery cart at checkout, foods such as chips,
granola bars and frozen meals. Purchasing perishable items, such as
yogurt, bread and fresh produce, is a sign that what you’re buying more
closely resembles foods your body can easily digest and use for fuel.

Studies
have proven that wearing a pedometer makes people walk 27% more. They
actually tend to walk at least 1 mile more a day. 1 mile takes about
15-20 min to complete, which equals to burning about 8 pounds every
year. You don’t need motivation. You don’t need to go to a gym. You only
need to give $20 to get a pedometer and check it throughout the day.
Even if you don’t have a particular walking goal, just by keeping track
of how much you walk, you will be walking more. I find this fact fascinating.
You literally, literally, have nothing more to do than wear a pedometer. The rest takes care of itself automatically.

Starting With the First :: Go for a walk when stressed
Tons of people just visit the fridge when they are stressed. What if
instead of paying a visit to your fridge, you went for a short walk
around your neighborhood?
Listen, eating when stressed is bad habit, as you are not really
hungry when you do it, not to mention that what you eat when stressed
may not be of the highest nutritional value…(e.g., candies!).
Let’s assume that you get stressed twice a week. In those moments you
opt for a 15 min walk instead of eating a 200 calorie snack. Assuming
you burn 6 calories a minute, you will be burning 9,360 calories a year.
This is equal to 2.7 pounds a year.
Now here is what you get with your current habit of eating a 200
calorie snack, twice a week: You get a total of 20,800 calories a year,
which is equal to 6 pounds! Thus, if you keep going with that pace, you
will be 60 pounds fatter in 10 years!
However, if you switch to taking a short walk instead of gaining 60 pounds, you will be losing 27 pounds in 10 years.
