The deadly mistake you’re making in your health journey... ☠️
Feeling bloated, rarely pooping, feeling sluggish and moody, getting headaches, craving another cup of coffee or afternoon sugar fix & not seeing the results you want??? 😵
There’s one crucial nutrient that you’re simply not getting enough of... WATER💧
Now before you write this off bc you drink a “ton of water,” let me ask you a few questions… (DON’T LIE)
- How much do you weigh?
- Do you drink coffee/tea/energy drinks/soda/juices?
- Do you take prescriptions?
- Do you smoke? (Yes- weed counts, even edibles)
- How much are you working out?
- Are you peeing all day long?
Did you know that all of this affects the amount of water you should be drinking in a day? 🤯
Here’s why this is so IMPORTANT:
Our body’s require water to transport oxygen and nutrients to our cells… think ENERGY! ⚡️
We expel a bunch of water in normal physiological functions: breathing, sweating, digesting, moving, etc. 🌬
When we consume diuretics (coffee/tea, alcohol, soda, fruit juices, prescription drugs, etc…) our body flushes the water out of our body to help remove toxins. ☕️ (This is why clear pee isn’t the best way to measure your hydration.)
This is our BEST protection against infections and diseases. (Looking at you, COVID) 🦠
So how can we ensure we’re actually hydrating our body properly???
Let me introduce you to this simple way to calculate the right amount of water FOR YOUR BODY…
🚰 HYDRATION EQUATION🚰
- Ounces of caffeine you consume ✖️1.5 =
- Ounces of alcohol you drink ✖️1.5 =
- How much you weigh➗ 2 =
Now add that all together + more if you are working out and/or smoking.
📈 That is the minimum amount of ounces of water you should be drinking in a day to stay hydrated.
For example:
If I weigh 125 lbs, I drink 20 oz of coffee and 8 oz of tea each day, I should be drinking a MINIMUM of 105oz of water per day, not including the amount of exercise I do or my extra-curricular activities. 😜
If you aren’t drinking a minimum of this 👆🏼amount in hydrating fluids everyday...
Your body could be shutting down on you.
If you suffer from chronic:
- Headaches
- Migraines
- Constipation/Diarrhea
- Bloating
- Rashes
- Fatigue
- Brain Fog
This needs to be your first step!
…But Lauren, I don’t have time to drink more water because I just pee all day long. 👀
I gotchu. What you’re lacking in this case are electrolytes to help your cells ABSORB the water you’re giving it. Try adding a pinch of unrefined sea salt (not table salt) or an electrolyte solution (LMNT is my fave!) to your water and see how you feel. 🧂
Try it out for a week and report back. 💦
