The Sign Of Life



Hope everyone is doing well and reaching and growing from every challenge they may face. Try to take yourself to new levels this month. Set up realistic goals and be consistent. Go at your pace and do a little bit everyday to get closer to your goals. Stay active, keep striving, and never give up.

WATER! WATER! WATER! The body is about 72 percent water with some tissue and minerals thrown in for good measure. While water has no calories, it's vital to your survival. It participates in almost all the chemical reactions in your body, it helps cool you, and moves vital fuels and hormones to your muscles and tissues. In short, you're cooked without it. Water also helps fill you up, so it can help fight hunger pangs. The brain triggers thirst and hunger from two different centers, but sometimes satisfying one center will temporarily satisfy the other. When you feel hungry, drink a glass of water and wait a half-hour before eating. Studies show that having a stomach full of water depresses hunger and can help you lose weight. If you're a soft drink lover, substitute plain water and watch the pounds disappear.

I can not stress this enough. We need water in order to survive and to improve. Also with the increase in temperatures outside, you must keep your body hydrated and not overheated. If you support and supply your body with the right stuff, your body will produce the results you want and will perform at all different levels for you. Your body is your temple...take care of it! Respect your body and love your body...I promise that it will give you the results you have been striving for. Do the smallest things (like drink more water) and you will see the effect you have been seeking.
Love,
