If you are anything like me, drinking water is about as desirable as having a root canal, believe me I have had one. I could not find drinking water a more boring task, at least that was until I started practising yoga, in particular Prana Vinyasa...ah yes, a type of hot yoga. As I delve deeper into practice, I am becoming more and more consious of my breathing and my desire to "be kind" to my body. I have never been a fan of drinking water or any other fluids for that matter, I would often go hours without drinking, I have made it through many meals without a single sip. I have now realized that much of my overeating was due to the fact that I was actually thirsty and not hungry! Now that I am drinking half my body weight in ounces per day, I feel energized, less hungry, and my skin is plumping up!! Gotta love it! So, I know, most of you have heard that drinking water is good for the skin and it is necessary to drink enough to ward off dehydration, but did you know that there is a strong correlation between obesity, specifically belly fat, and consumption of water, and that the work that you are asking of your liver and kidneys have a great deal to do with this relationship! I found this great article that does a beautiful job of explaining this phenomenon, so raise a glass of water and enjoy the read!
