I've always used this great loaf of awesomeness  to bribe people for favors, to thank someone for doing something awesome or just because I mean, do you really need a reason to bake such perfection? Ahh.. Too bad I can't eat it all, must share it with the world ๐Ÿ˜.

The thing called water..

I know it can be pretty boring to describe what water is and how important it is for our body to function properly. If you think about it, the human body needs air, water, and food. The human body could go a few seconds to a couple of minutes without air. Stig Steverinsen holds the record for holding his breath for exactly 22minutes. That's pretty impressive, but the body needs water to function. 65% of the human body is water. The brain uses water to manufacture hormones and neurotransmitters. Water helps the body regulate its temperature through sweating and respiration. It acts as a shock absorber for the  braind and spinal cord. Water also converts food to components needed for survival, digestion. It also delivers oxygen all over the body. It lubricates joins, flushes body waste, mainly in urine. Allows body's cells to grow, reproduce, and survive and much more! 
Water can be obtained from eating food, although the best form to consume the necessary amount of water is through drinking water. 

Water not only helps your body function properly but it ultimately helps your body feel, look, and be better. It helps skin look, feel and be healthier and clearer. Also, it is a natural hunger suppresant, for most times people eat out of thirst not hunger. The recommended water intake for adults is 8 glasses of water. Now, if you are someone that is exposed to higher temperatures, or is more active you should drink more water of couse. 

Over the last 3 days I have been drinking a gallon of water. I have noticed less bloating and I eat naturally less. I'm intending to make it into a habit by doing a June challenge. Everyday for the next month I will be drinking a gallong of water. If you will like to join me in this challenge, send me an email or add me on FB or Instagram to keep me posted and hold me and yourself accountable.
