The weekend is here and there are lots of parties, weddings and events to attend. A girl has to have a dress that silences a room when she steps in.

All the dirt on drinking water.

According to the outreach foundation, water is the most precious commodity in East Africa.

Water equates to life. 75% of your body is water and 90% of your brain is water. Your Muscles consists of 75% water, Bone consists of 22% of water, and Blood consists of 83% water. (www.mangosteen-natural-remedies.com)

Our bodies need all the water it can get for its smooth running. All chemical processes involve energy metabolism and drinking plenty of water will make you feel more energetic and boost our metabolic rate. This will lead to you losing all the unwanted weight. It will also alleviate the incessant headaches and reduce high blood pressure and the rate of cholesterol.

Water is the ultimate detoxifier of all the toxic waste in our bodies and its keep you from dehydration.

Moreover, to all my girls that are wondering about all the Zit traffic jam and break out on their faces.

Here is the secret...

WATER!!

The recipe for a healthy glowing skin is water. You will be amazed at what increasing your water intake can do to your skin. Although extremely neglected, Water, is the number one beauty treatment.

This begs the question: What is the amount of water you need?

10 glasses a day is a start. More exacting is to drink half your body weight in fluid ounces. you can spice up your water by adding some lemon juice which is good for your kidney stones.

Enough with the coca cola, quenchers and all other liquids,Train yourself to reach for water.

here is to your health and a radiant skin.
