Hydration
Why is Hydration important?
​
Water is what makes your body work. The better hydrated you are, the better it will work. Your blood will flow easier; your body doesn't have to work as hard to do daily chores like keeping your metabolism working.
​
If you are starting your journey to getting healthy, losing weight, or increasing your fitness, drinking more water is the first and easiest step. If your pee is generally clear and you keep your bottle of water with you, you may be able to check this box already. When you start drinking more, you will also start to pee more. But don't worry. It will get easier as your body gets used to it.
Get a water bottle that you can keep with you.
