Thirsty Thursday

On Thirsty Thursdays, I'll be exploring the benefits and effects of different types of beverages while maintaining a healthy lifestyle, as well as taking the time to share some healthier alternatives for nights out on the town.

The first Thirsty Thursday post has to be about the most important beverage out there for a healthy lifestyle... water. Now, I won't deny that there are all kinds of conflicting reports out there regarding how much water a person needs to drink on a day to day business. But I can tell you that from my personal experience, it seems as though I lose weight quicker and more consistently when I'm consuming a lot of water. It makes me feel like I'm flushing out toxins, helps me feel fuller more often, and hydrates me for workouts. When I'm paying attention to a healthier lifestyle, I make sure I get at least 8 glasses, but I feel even better when I'm drinking at least 12.

Anyway, I found the information on this website informational and more in line with my own personal philosophy on drinking water. I hope you find it interesting, and let me know - do you agree with the importance of drinking water to maintain a healthy lifestyle, or feel that the guideline of 8 glasses/day is overly hyped?
