Drink More Water: Your ideal New Year’s Resolution

Are you a victim of choosing a New Year’s resolution by abandoning it by the beginning of February? We’ve all been there. Many New Year’s resolutions end in failure because they lack actionable steps which is necessary to hold you accountable. Yet, this year, Finken believes that the best New Year’s resolution is to drink more water. Here are some ways Finken can help you stay on track and even achieve this goal:How much water should you be drinking? Even though more than 60 percent of your body composition is water, it’s still necessary to drink an ample amount of water each day. You’ve probably heard the sage advice that eight glasses of water results in optimal health. Like “an apple a day keeps the doctor away,” this advice is completely arbitrary and does not have any scientific basis. Health experts now encourage individuals to indulge in a cool glass of water whenever they feel thirsty. Somedays you might be close to the 64 ounce “recommendation.” Other days, you might be drinking double that depending on how much fatigue you’re experiencing and what foods you consumed.Health benefitsEven though there is no solid recommendation for the amount of water you should drink, it still is important to hydrate yourself. If you’d like to lose weight this year, drinking more water will help you achieve that.
