For the last month I have stuck to this water challenge as best as possible. It's not been easy seeming that I don't particularly like the taste of water but the results have been worth it.
Here’s why…
Initially I had a few spotty outbreaks, but shortly afterwards my face became clear and smooth. I was getting quite a few compliments about my complexion.
I have always been lucky in that I didn't really suffer from cellulite but pregnancy seemed to have changed this... When I increased my water intake to between 1.5 to 2 litres daily I noticed within a week that my cellulite had started to go - result!
I also wasn't feeling as hungry as I normally was which was good news for me. I felt much more in control of my hunger pangs.
With regards to being pregnant I noticed that increasing my water intake had a positive effect on my constant heartburn and constipation! (Something else you only find out about when you get pregnant).
So have I got used to drinking more water? Yes but I'm still needing to remind myself. The benefits have definitely been worth it and aiming for 1.5 to 2 liters a day makes a huge difference. One handy thing I started doing was when eating out or in coffee shops, I was ordering tap water along side my coffees, teas and meals. I also noticed that I found it easier to drink water that wasn't freezing cold.
Now the challenge is to keep it going!
Speak soon,
