Check your Fluid Levels!

Luckily, our HUMAN engines don't require us to pop the cap on the radiator and avoid hot steam to check our fluid levels.

What are some signs that your fluid levels are low?

• Swollen Hands & Feet
• Constipation 
• Retaining Fluids
• Feeling Hungry
• Feeling Thirsty
• Decreased Urine Output
• Headache
• Dizziness 

Avoid these symptoms!  

Drink your minimum quantities of water per day. I know you know what that is, but I will repeat it for you anyway. :-)

1/2 your body weight in pounds = the number of ounces per day of WATER you should be consuming.

When you have an ample amount of water coursing through your system, everything works better and your system is less likely to Lock Up.  Just as our car's engine can overheat and lock up if we don't keep fluids in there, so can our human engine.  That's why we get swollen hands & feet & constipation - our system is locking up what little water IS available to protect itself.

While there are other factors to preventing dehydration, adequate water intake is number 1.

Now, go pour yourself a big, tasty glass of filtered water, and feel good knowing you love yourself and are taking good care of yourself!
