A little more on why you should drink water.

In my last article on hydration, I mentioned how much of our bodies are made up of water. I have a "few" more reasons why we should hydrate aside from the fact that the majority of our body is made up of water. First of all, our brain is 95% water, which is why we get headaches, dizziness, and lose focus when we are dehydrated. Here are some of the other side effects: dry, itchy skin, thirst, fatigue, cramping, weakness, sleepiness, dry mouth, constipation, bloating, and an overall feeling of being more stressed, cranky, and an inability to think clearly! If that isn't enough reason to drink more water then I don't know what is. Good luck with your future hydration!

Success comes in different forms

More success from All Canadian Fitness! I was training a lady today who I have been working with for about 9 months now. Today, after never doing a push-up from her toes ever in her life, this wonderful lady did two full sets of 15! Way to go Nelia! And for those of you who may doubt the form she used...it was absolutely perfect!

Drink Water!

Just a little blurb on hydration for you today! 66% of your body is made up of water. (22% of our bones, 75% of our muscles, 83% of our blood, 93% of our lungs, and 95% of our brains!) Knowing this, there is no surprise as to how important drinking water is to our daily health. Even if you're not exercising hydration is extremely important, so if you are this should be stressed even more! If you are thirsty, drink water. Don't drink soda, don't drink juice, not milk either... JUST DRINK WATER!

Andrew's Extra Lean Burgers!

If you are someone who absolutely loves a tasty hamburger like myself, here is a recipe that will let you enjoy the burgers you love without sacrificing your health!

Ingredients:
- 1lb of extra lean ground beef (turkey would be a healthier choice)
- 2 egg whites
- 2 slices of %100 whole wheat bread
- 1 tablespoon of minced garlic
- 1/2 a chopped onion

Just mix all the ingredients together in a bowl, form into burgers of whatever size you like, and broil in the oven or barbeque them for the leanest burger possible. If you must fry them, please do so in a pan with olive oil! Don't forget to use whole wheat buns! ENJOY!
