Benefits of drinking water!!
Next to air, water is the most necessary element for survival. 
We can go without food for almost 2 months, but without water for 
only a few days.

What exactly does water do for your body?
  • Transports nutrients and oxygen into cells
  • Helps with metabolism
  • Moisturizes the air in the lungs
  • Protects our vital organs
  • Helps organs to absorb nutrients better
  • Regulates body temperature
  • Detoxifies
  • Aids in WEIGHT LOSS
  • Natural remedy for head and body aches
  • provides younger, healthier skin
  • Improves brain function
  • Improves energy
  • Improves digestion and constipation
  • Strengthens the immune system
  • Improves mood


How much of your body is made up of water?
  • Muscles consist of 75% water
  • Brain consists of 75% water
  • Bone consists of 22% water
  • Blood consists of 83% water

How much water should you consume per day?


While on the Ideal Protein protocol you should be consuming a minimum of 
64 ounces day. Most active people should consume 75% of their body weight 
in ounces of water per day.  So a 150 lb. person should be taking in 112 ounces per day.

Many people often mistake thirst for hunger, when in fact they are dehydrated. 
So before you eat, drink a big glass of water and wait 15 minutes and see how you feel. 
Because,  after all,  water has zero calories and so many health benefits.
