Health Tip - Triathlons!

We're all on the road to getting healthy! Yeah! I'm mulling over the idea of training for Eppies Great Race, the world's oldest triathlon, coming up in July: run 5.8 miles, bike 12 miles, kayak 6 miles. If I choose to do this I'll post my progress here! :) I only have 5 weeks to get ready so I need to figure out my training schedule and see if this is feasible.

Have any of you ever trained for a marathon or triathlon? I'd love all advice and support!!

Here's my health tip today:

Drinking water:

• Lubricates your joints and eyes
• Moisturises your skin , giving you a better complexion
• Helps maintain good skin and muscle tone
• Better sleep and digestion
• Eliminates toxic wastes (helps keep cellulite away)
• Prevents constipation
• Gives you more energy
• Transports nutrients around your body and supports the central nervous system, which in turn reduces stress.
• Normal brain function (having a clearer sharper mind and less headaches)
  

The short-term effects of dehydration include nausea, fatigue, lethargy, headaches and fainting. The long-term effects can be even more serious, including kidney disease.(from Healthy Chic)
