WATER! with Lemon + Sea Salt
Dry skin calls for hydration. What beats hydration better than water? Drink plenty of water throughout the day.
"The first thing you need to do is calculate how much water your body needs at rest. That's working at a desk, puttering around the house, reading and doing all of the other things you do throughout the day. This is your bare minimum water requirement – what your body needs to function.
The basic equation for determining this is by dividing your body weight in half. So, if you weigh 200 pounds, you would need 100 ounces of water per day if you're not doing anything strenuous. If you're working out, hiking, at a high altitude or outdoors a great deal, you're going to need to add to those 100 ounces."- (Elkaim)
I add fresh squeezed lemon juice and a dash of sea salt for electrolytes among other healthy benefits.
Lemon water...is an easy way to get some of this fruit's nutritional benefits...also plays a key role in cleansing your system, according to Dr. David Jockers...Also an antioxidant, it contains nutrients that block damage caused by free radicals, which may play a role in cancer, heart disease and arthritis. - (Budzienski)
