We have all heard that we need to drink more water.
The health benefits of drinking the proper amount of water for your body are so staggering that I could write a nearly endless endorsement for it.
Want to loss weight? Drink more water.
Want higher mental acuity? Drink more water.
Want to build muscle? Drink more water.
Want clear, beautiful skin? Drink more water.
Want to look younger? Drink more water.
Tired all the time? Drink more water.
Hungry all the time? Drink more water.
And on, and on, and on it goes. Seriously, google, bing, or whatever search engine you fancy and look it up.
I typically drink 12-16 glasses of water a day. My goal is a gallon a day.
While there are many different recommendations and charts available indicating how much water you should drink - it comes down to this: If you are drinking enough water every day then your urine will run clear.. from your first morning pee to the one right before you go to bed. The darker it is; the more dehydrated you are.
