H2O

Every system of your body depends on water to flush out toxins and carry nutrients including oxygen to cells.  In fact, about 60% of your body weight is made up of water.  Your muscles are made up of about 75% water.  In the massage industry it is suggested that you drink extra water after your treatment to replenish your body and to help carry waste from the muscle.  The industry standard is to drink half your weight in ounces daily.  So, if you weigh 150 pounds, you would drink 75 ounces of water a day.  Don't forget to take those water breaks!!!
