Your body is comprised of roughly 70% water. Maintaining homeostasis is principal to a well-functioning human body. Analogous to an engine without oil, your body must be supplied water to operate. It is irrefutable; if you desire a healthy functioning body - Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate! Benefits of a well hydrated body can be observed through many manifestations.

Hydration for a well functioning body
When your body is properly hydrated you can experience several benefits both internal and external:
- Improved skin complexion
- Improved cognitive acuity
- Improved physical performance
- Improved disposition
- Improved waste movement
- Slimmer abdominal physique
- Reduced hunger
Waste Management
Many articles have been composed describing the value of waste management. Achieving the benefits requires observation within two specific questions:
- How often do you defecate?
- What is its consistency?
For our purposes today we will focus on frequency. On average, a well hydrated and well-nourished human should defecate roughly 3 times per day. I recommend using your daily hydration requirement to satisfy your daily defecation requirement.
The Flush
(Pun intended) I recommend performing this task upon waking in the morning, however the following practice can be performed anytime throughout the day. Flushing is a practice whereby you supply a volume of water to your digestive system, engendering defecation. The following is an example:
- Wake up in the morning
- Drink a few glasses of water while doing something productive
- Result: approximately 1 - 2 trip(s) to the restroom
- Drink one cup of coffee
- Result: approximately 1 trip to the restroom
- Breakfast!
