Beauty Bento Tip: Keep Yourself Hydrated

I recently enrolled myself in a gym, Fitness First. Primary reason is to gain weight and, hopefully, start living a healthier lifestyle. We all know that once we feel good about our bodies, we’ll look good, right? And I’m not just talking about weight and vitals, ok. It’s if you feel healthy and are healthy then a lot of positive things will also come your way. That’s what I like to believe anyway.

For all you guys who are Fitness First members, you know that they provide a starter kit for each. It has the backpack, towel, headset, and the no-spill water bottle. Yes, a water bottle. I happen to think it’s thoughtful of them to supply a must-have gym kit. It helps give the member an idea of the important things you need why exercising. The headset, btw, is a side thingie so you can listen to the audio of Cable tellies and movies that are scattered all around the building, which will entertain you while you do cardio and stuff.

Going back to the point of the post, we all know that we perspire when we exercise AND exercising in an air-conditioned room will somehow mask the thirst. At least that’s what I observed, cooler temperatures have less moisture in the air (feel free to correct me). It’s just that I’ve noticed that I often find my mouth dry up quicker when I’m in a cool place or country. That’s why I put emphasis on the need to keep yourself hydrated at all times. Thank goodness for the free water bottle.

I’m not saying it will improve the moisture state of your skin but it certainly will make sure that you’re healthy. We wouldn’t want you to suffer dehydration now, would we? If you’re dehydrated, I reckon your skin will be affected, too, right? I guess I’m just applying common sense. IMHO, a dehydrated person cannot have a radiant, healthy and great looking skin, right? Also, if you keep yourself hydrated, you’ll have more liquid to perspire, which will aid in the cleansing your skin. Quite simple reasoning, right? At least, that’s my opinion.

Anyway, I have an 18-month Lifestyle membership to consume. All I need to do now is to try and fit it in my current schedule. First day didn’t turn out too good. I wonder if tomorrow will be a better one. Ah, well. We’ll soon see how this *healthy* endeavour will turn out.
