RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:

Did you hit the junk food & booze hard partying this past weekend? Best way to detox, since our body is 75% of it, and our brain 90% of it, is WATER! Not only for flushing out impurities, but also to clear up your skin, and to improve energy.

How much should you have?

At least half of your body weight in fluid ounces every single day. Don't wait until you're thirsty, because then you're already dehydrated.

What kind of water is best?

Tap water has so many toxins these days, prescription medications and chlorine. The chlorine alone increases your chances of getting cancer by 93% over your lifetime, according to the EPA. Bottled water is not great either. The plasticides from the bottle itself leach into the water over the weeks the bottle sits on the shelf. Go to Walmart, spend the $30-$50 for a filter and BPA free water bottle. Your long term health is worth the cost.
