Step 3 - Water-logged

A simple, basic element of living beings is, of course, water.
Since most of a living body is water, it's probably a very good idea to consume a pretty good deal of it. And in reality, it can play a rather productive role in alleviating headaches, fatigue, muscle pain, digestive problems, and even portion control - feeling full and satisfied.

1. First thing when you wake up in the morning: drink a tall glass of water
2. Before eating a single bite of each meal: drink 1-2 tall glasses of water (depending on how active you are)
3. 2 hours before bed: drink the last tall glass of water

The benefits:

• fills you up - feel fuller faster, but without making you lethargic
• aids in digestion
• hydration helps keep blood flowing nutrients and oxygen to the brain - staves off fatigue and headaches
• flushes toxins - not just substances introduced to the body, but the actual waste products the body produces that need help (via water) to be properly flushed out
• reduces muscle pain when the body is able to flush its toxins and increase blood flow with nutrients and oxygen, the body can repair itself and get rid of lactic acid to make stretching effective

The only catch here is that it's preferable to drink hot or room-temperature water - though any water is better than none; ice water slows the metabolism and can shock the system. Unless it's hot outside, try to avoid drinking chilled water.

AND:

For severe menstrual cramping or nausea, I have discovered (and my friends have corroborated) that drinking plain hot water (when peppermint tea is not available) is an amazing way to alleviate nausea and cramping. Kinda strange that something so simple can do something so effectively. Give it a shot, it's free!!!
