The Power of Water

Oke.. a bit obvious that first thing I’m blogging about after my ADE weekend (for those who don’t know what Amsterdam Dance Event is all about… you’ve been missing out y’all)!! But yeah.. the ones who follow me on Instagram might have seen some crazy shots passing by..thank god for the delete button K

But don’t blame me for the fact that I sometimes just wanna go C to the RAZY and Dance the night away with my friends drinking lots and lots of Alcohol, I never said I’m a saint ;)

We all know that drinking a lot of water is good for our health and to maintain our sexy looks. But how come there are still so many people who are having a hard time drinking it?! I drink around  2 litres of pure clean (boiled) warm water per day. I prefer not to drink out of plastic bottles, I always find the taste a bit funny. But I just love the neutral taste of water. Also, since I stopped drinking a lot of tea I noticed my skin cleared up and no more dry spots on my cheeks.

Another thing I use water for is as a natural painkiller which works great against headaches. Luckily I don’t have headaches a lot but whenever I do I drink a big glass of water, wait for 10-15 minutes and 9 out of 10 times the headaches just disappears.

Home Sweet Home

The biggest miss conception out there is that people think that all the drinks they drink during the day count as hydrating yourself. Which is so FALSE! A lot of the drinks like coffee and non-herbal teas are actually de-hydrating the body, not to mention all the damage all chemical soda’s bring to your body.

So whenever I’m out and about I always order a glass of tap-water on the side.

Another fact, don’t just sip on your water, best thing to get the water cleaning and detoxifying your body is to drink 0,5 liters all at once. This way your  body gets the right signal it may use the water to clean the inside of the body.

Well to convince you guys to drink more plain water I summed up a list for you guys with great facts about water!
