Reminder: Get Your Cups & Bottles Ready -- Water Challenge Coming May 21-31!

Water, water, everywhere! Get ready to get your drink on May 21-31!

 

How to Participate in the Water Challenge 

You will record your daily ounces of water by your participant number that will be assigned to you when you registerDeadline to register is the end of the day on May 18. After you register, Juliette Houseman will send you a form where you will record your daily entries. 

 

Incentive! 
If you drink at least 75 oz. of water on a daily basis, you will be entered in a drawing for a gift bag of Heartland AEA logo items. (You are not required to drink this amount every day to participate in the challenge as a whole.)

 

How much water should you drink?
 
Daily recommended water amount: drink 1/2 ounce for every 1 pound of your weight, every day. That’s .033 liters per 1 kg you weight. 



Examples:


Half of 150 lbs. = 75, so 75 oz./day

Half of 250 lbs. = 125, so 125 oz./day

Half of 68 kg x .033 = about 2 liters/day


Half of 90 kg x .033 = about 3 liters/day



Why drink water?

Resetting your body is all about undoing years of bad habits and less than perfect health choices. As you’ve heard a thousand times, drinking lots of water is critical. As part of the Wellness Challenge, you can earn your points while flushing your system and creating more energy! 



What's the big deal about water? 

The Earth is 70% water. Your body is 80% water. It stands to reason that water is some pretty important stuff – right? Water is the body’s transportation medium. It’s how it moves EVERYTHING around to different parts of your body. Water is used to move nutrients to the 100 trillion cells in your body. Water is used to move waste and toxins from your cells to your kidneys, to leave your body. Water is used to wash fat from your body. These things have to get out somehow—they don’t just evaporate away! So water moves good things around your body, and water moves waste, toxins and fat out.
