Rehydrate For Life

Think about this for a moment; about 60 to 70 percent of your body is water. Your body needs water to regulate body temperature and to transport nutrients and oxygen around the body. Water also helps to eliminate the body of waste, acts as a protective moisture barrier and aids in weight loss.

We lose a lot of water each day through basic body functions. By exercising, the body loses even more water depending on the type, length, intensity of exercise and the climate you work out in. Your body must continually regulate the amount of water it holds or risk becoming dehydrated. You become dehydrated when your body's water supply cannot meet its demands. This can cause a variety of complications, including heat exhaustion and heat stroke.

How much water do I need?

Determining how much water you need depends on a number of varying factors; your health, how active you are and where you live, are just some of the determining factors. As a general rule however, it's recommended that adults consume at least eight 8oz glasses of water each day.

Increasing your intake of water will help to naturally speed up your metabolism, which is one of the keys to losing weight. In addition to water intake, LepToThin™ a scientifically proven weight loss product, is also an effective tool to boost metabolism and curb hunger cravings.

Tips and Tricks:

1. Drink a glass of water before, during and between meals - This will help you to feel fuller and curb cravings so you don't over eat. Water also helps to prepare the stomach for the food that will follow.
2. Drink water before, during and after a workout - Listen to your body. It will naturally crave more water during exercise. Rehydrating is especially important during a work out to restore the bodies fluid levels and arm yourself against dehydration.
3. Have a glass of water when you’re tired - Feeling tired? Need a nap but can’t take one? Have a glass of water. Because of its ability to move quickly throughout the body, water can reach your brain and activate it right before a meeting or other situation where you need to pay attention. Cold water, especially, will wake up your body to keep you alert.
4. Don't mistake thirst for hunger - It's not uncommon for people to mistake thirst for hunger. Which is why it's a good idea to have a glass of water when you feel hungry. Ask yourself how long it's been since you last ate. If it's been less than three hours then you may just need to rehydrate.
