Number two, drink a full glass of lukewarm water as soon as you wake up in the morning. And if you have any digestive issues or eczema, headaches, acne, pretty much everybody should add a teaspoon of organic apple cider vinegar to the water and drink that down because literally, you sweat out and lose a lot of water just with sleeping. And so if you start out your day already a little bit dehydrated, you're going to be prone to having stomach cramps and headaches and dry skin and like, the list goes on and on. So our body needs to be lubricated, and the best thing to do is to drink a glass of lukewarm water before you do anything else. So literally, I do that and then I go outside, or sometimes I take my water and I drink it outside while I'm in the sun. So that has been a game changer for me. Like, I've been able to get off my coffee addiction because I drink that full glass of water and hydrate my cells and they can start making energy. I get to the point now where I probably drink a half a cup of coffee, and I only do that an hour or two later because I'm drinking my water first. I'm going outside, I'm exercising, I'm walking the dogs, I'm doing meditation, reading the Bible, all of that stuff before I'm even touching coffee. So drinking that glass of water in the morning, with or without apple cider vinegar has been a huge game changer for my energy. And when I feel a slump in the afternoon, I will check my water intake. And usually if I'm tired, it's because I haven't had any more water since that first glass. So literally, water hydrates and helps you create energy. So really get your water in. You know, the recommendation is half of your body weight in water. So if you weigh 120 pounds, then 60 ounces of water is like the minimum that you need. If you weigh 140, 70 ounces would be the minimum that you need. So try and shoot for, you know, 60 to 100 ounces of water. Do your best, but if you're only drinking a couple glasses of water a day, your body's definitely struggling to do its functions because water is a necessary component to do all those chemical processes. It, it gives up hydrogens and oxygen molecules for your physiology to do its processes. So super important.
