It was a HOT weekend in Toronto and it's going to be a hot week, so here's a quick reminder to STAY HYDRATED peeps! You've heard it before...drink lots of water if you want healthy glowing skin! It seems like every beauty guru touts the benefits of water and for good reason! I try my best to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day but it's really hard when I have a busy day. One thing that has helped me stay motivated is my hourly reminder on my phone to drink water. I know I know, it looks a bit silly but I assure you, these reminders have saved me on days I simply forget to have a bit of water throughout the day. It's so worth it. I could talk about the health benefits of water all day until I'm blue in the face, but if you're like some people that simply don't like water then I have good news for you. Water isn't the only beverage you can drink to get healthy and glowing skin. Wait wutttt?! Yassss I said it. The big secret to glowing skin ISN'T only water. In the past few years I've fallen in love with skin care, as well as talking better care of my body which includes drinking healthier beverages daily. If you don't like the taste of water, there are literally a million recipes to promote overall health by adding your fave fruit or veggies to your water. I love cucumber lemon and mint infused water. Not only is this recipe refreshing and hydrating, cucumber water delivers antioxidants, lowers blood pressure, boosts bone health, and of course supports healthy skin.
Another beverage I love and drink daily (probably more than I should) is green tea. Some people believe that it's the healthiest beverage on the planet. It's loaded with polyphenols that are important for reducing inflammation and helping fight cancer. Even though green tea contains less caffeine than coffee, it still has enough to produce an effect and improve brain function. I made the switch from coffee to green tea many years ago and I believe it's way better for my health than coffee was. I really do see and feel a difference when I don't have as much water or tea as I usually do so I know and can truthfully say that staying hydrated and choosing healthier drinks isn't just some fad. It really works!
