It is important to know the importance of the 7-Day Water Challenge. The purpose and importance of this challenge is to get you to make a positive change to your drinking habits. Drinking sodas and sugary drinks daily can have a negative effect on your health. If drinking water becomes a habit for you, you won’t desire unhealthy drinks. You will be surprised at how sweet things taste after you’ve flushed your system with water.

Before you begin, you should know that you should drink an appropriate amount of water for your weight. Too little water will be insufficient and also it isn’t safe to drink too much water.Get an accurate account of your weight. Once you have your weight multiply that number by .67 and the number will tell you how much water you should drink in ounces.For example, if you weigh 170 lbs., multiply 170 times .67 and that will tell you that you should be drinking about 114 ounces of water per day, which averages to about seven 16 ounces bottles of water per day.You can spread it out by doing 1 bottle an hour for 7 hours.

Here’s an example to follow:

Current weight 120 pounds = 120x.67=80.4ounces/8 oz = (10) 8oz glasses of water or (5) 16 oz bottles of water

This person will drink 5 bottles of water per day for 7 days

This concludes the 7-Day Water Challenge instructional guide to completing successfully. This may seem like a small challenge but it is a big deal and I want you to complete it with confidence. Once you complete the 7 Days, move to 14 days. Keep going until you can drink water daily for 30 days. You will feel much better in the end and you will have developed a new habit, and most of all, your skin will look more hydrated.
