Last Weeks’ Challenge:

Evaluation of the cost for Health Change
Joe mentioned that he actually got good night sleep during during the challenge
Joe also says that it is important to make changes towards healthy lifestyle, but we need to be realistic about the starting point

Next Weeks’ Challenge:

Drink at least two 8oz. glass of water a day
Joe suggests to drink only water (this means no soda or other beverages that have sugars, coloring and etc.)
Start this challenge slow, and increase water intake gradually.

Additional Resources:




Water is necessary for all life.
Water carries vital nutrients to all parts of our bodies
Best solvent in the universe- flushes out toxins http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/origins/essential.html

We have an increased need for it because of the

amount of toxicity we consume
amount of dehydrated and salted processed food we eat
Less fresh fruits and vegetables that are high in water content

I helps:

in regulating our temperature
lubricate and cushion our joints

If you replace 16oz of pop with 16oz of water you will save yourself 200 calories.
