Increased hydration will help you flush toxins out of your body, decrease constipation, keep your skin glowing, and aid in weight loss.
Practice hydrating between meals and before your bigger meals (breakfast,lunch,dinner)
Have you ever heard the saying, sometimes it is not always that you’re super hungry it’s that you’re thirsty.
Staying hydrated will keep you from overeating during any of your meals. It will also help you make smarter options when you do eat.
If you know you go to lunch starving and don’t drink water until you’re ready for lunch, a microhabit you can add between that timespan is drinking water.
This will help you make smarter choices concerning your meals.
