What's up everybody I'm Chris Powell, and I want to talk to you about hydration. Now if you ask most doctors out there they'll tell you "Well it's important you drink half your body weight in ounces of water.". And well why? It's because water, aside from the other macronutrients proteins, carbs and fats, it really is the most important essential nutrient out there. Water, it drives all the metabolic processes of the body, and so we can't survive without water. Heck our body is 2/3 water. And so it plays such an important role in the transformation process, because it optimizes your body's state for maximum metabolic potential. But on top of that keep in mind that most people are actually dehydrated. We just don't know it. The mechanism in our brain that tells us that we're thirsty. It's actually relatively weak, and often we confuse it for hunger. So most of the time when we're actually thirsty we'll actually reach for food instead. And I found that especially for myself, and with all the people that I work with. When they start hydrating themselves properly and just nourishing their body with the water that they need. They're not hungry for the foods that they crave, and so it's one of the most important valuable tools in the process.
