5 Factors of Fitness:
The Fast Track to Feeling Good
By Kristie Lemon

What makes you feel good? When we are tired, sick, hungry, or stressed it can be hard to remember what makes us feel good. But we are all responsible for our own physical health; even if we have limitations.

The following five factors can help us control our body fat and fitness level and put us on the fast track to feeling better:

1. Water Intake — Drink more pure, refreshing water. It flushes out the body as it hydrates the cells allowing every organ and system in our body to do its job better. Set a goal of drinking least eight, eight ounce glasses of plain water a day. The idea is to drink when you are not eating so your digestive enzymes can do their job. Start in the morning with a measured amount of water and don't drink anything else until you have finished. I promise your bladder will adapt (try not to drink for twenty minutes before and twenty minutes after eating).
