The Importance Of Drinking Water

August 21st, 2007

Gee my friend I was just about to call you, to see if you were coming today! Gee Nino I apologize for being thirty minutes late today! My friend don’t worry about it….. is everything ok with you?? Yeah Nino everything is fine! Nino I actually just came from the gym!

Gee my friend you must of really worked out hard today, because your all out of breath and your shirt is soaked! Gee my friend! I certainly hope that you’ve been drinking alot of water after your workouts, because you need to put back all the water that your body loses after an intense workout!

My Friend! Have you been drinking at least a gallon of water… daily throughout your day??

Gee Nino! I don’t think your going to be to happy with my answer to your question! Actually Nino I’m lucky if I drink one glass of water…. throughout my whole day! Gee Nino I have a feeling what I’m about to tell you next, is not going to make you to happy either! Well my friend! Since your on a roll so far today being absolutely right about me not being happy, with what your telling me you might as well be two for two today! Ok Nino here it comes! Nino I never drink water after my workouts!

Well friend! I certainly have to tip my hat off to you once again!

Gee Nino! Something tells me that I just came up with… our next topic of discussion today!

Well my friend you just made it three for three today, because your absolutely right with making that assumption! My friend before we even begin our discussion today on why it’s so important, to drink that water today I’m afraid I’m going to need to ask you one more question!

Gee Nino sure but before you do can I just say… one more thing to you!

Absolutely my friend go right ahead! 

Ok Nino! Nino do you remember our topic of discussion last week, when I was giving you all the right answers to your questions! Gee my friend absolutely! My friend you were on a roll, I believe I even gave you a gold star if I recall as well! Yeah Nino you did but I have a feeling that I’m not going to be receiving, any gold stars from you this week!

Ok stop right there my friend!

Listen my friend! I certainly don’t expect you each week to come up with all the right answers, to the questions that I might ask you! Gee my friend! Just think if you gave me all the right answers to my questions, each and every week our mission would be over! I’ll be totally honest with you my friend! I actually like it when you don’t come up with all the right answers to my questions, because God want’s to make sure that you keep me doing my job! Which is simply my friend to continue to educate, motivate, and inspire you so you can also, teach others one day these same principles in their lives as well! My friend like I keep telling you over and over again, we’re in this mission together!

Gee Nino! Are you trying to make me feel better by telling me this?

Absolutely not my friend! I’m being totally honest with you!!

Gee Nino thanks I feel alot better now…. you can go ahead now and ask me your next question!

Great my friend!

Well my friend! If you haven’t been drinking water throughout your day…… what have you been drinking then? Gee Nino I’ve been drinking alot of diet soda and tons of orange juice! Gee Nino something tells me that’s not a good thing for me to be doing! My friend your absolutely right again! My friend that definitely is not a good thing for you to be drinking, all that soda and orange juice everyday!

Gee my friend! I’m surprised you don’t have a hole in your stomach by now, with all the acid and carbonation that you’ve been drinking! Well my friend! I have news for you that’s all about to come to an end because in my next blog, I’m going to tell to you why it’s so important for you to be drinking that water instead of all that acid and sugar!

Gee Nino I had a feeling that you were going to say that to me! Nino I also have a feeling that I’m about to be educated once again today!

Gee my friend your absolutely right again and you told me earlier, that you weren’t giving me any right answers today!

Ok that be said my friend!

Are you ready for your next lesson on why it’s so important, for you to be drinking that water??

Gee Nino I sure am! Nino I even have my pen and pad ready!

Great my friend!

Here we go once again!

Well my friend! Let me first start off today by commenting on something you said to me eariler, which was that you never drink water after your workouts! My friend am I correct by saying that? Yeah Nino your absolutely correct! Well my friend! I know for a fact for myself knowing how hard I train each and everyday and all the water that I lose, in the process if I didn’t immediately drink water after my workouts I would literally pass out!!

Gee my friend! I don’t know how you’ve been doing it! Gee Nino! What’s wrong with me drinking diet soda and orange juice after my workouts? Gee my friend haven’t you been paying attention today! Like I said all that acid is going to burn a hole right through your stomach! Furthermore my friend all that acid and sugar that you’ve been drinking is going to eat away, at your hard earned muscles that you’ve worked so hard to get! My friend! Did you know by you drinking that water it will help keep your muscles looking full, and also help increase your muscle size as well!

Gee Nino I had absolutely no idea that water will help increase my muscle size, and keep them looking full! Gee Nino this probably explains why my muscles have been looking quite flat lately! Well my friend I would have to say that’s a pretty safe assumption by you, I definitley would have to agree with you on that as well! 

Ok my friend! If that didn’t convince you of the fact that you need to drink that water, maybe what I’m about to tell you next will! My friend! Did you know that by drinking water it can help decrease your bodyfat, and also flush out all the bad toxins in your system and keep it clean! Gee Nino I certainly didn’t know that either! Nino I think I’m starting to realize today, of how important drinking that water really is in my life!

Gee my friend! I’m glad to hear you say that but I have one more reason to tell you why drinking that water is so important in our lives! My friend I strongly believe this reason I’m about to give you, is going to make you want to go home and start drinking that gallon of water!

My friend! Are you ready to know the most important reason of all on why… you should be drinking that water??

Yeah Nino let me have it!

Ok my friend here it is!

My friend! Did you know that water plays an essential role in keeping our skin looking smooth and healthy! Furthermore my friend water will prevent our skin from drying out and cracking! Gee Nino this also probably explains why I’ve been using alot of moisturizer for my skin lately, because its been extremely dry and rough! Gee my friend your absolutely right again!

Well my friend! I certainly hope today that I was able to convince you of how important, a role of drinking that water plays in your life! Gee Nino are you kidding absolutely no question about it! Gee Nino I’ll say it again! Nino you know how to put things in the right context without being pushy, to where anybody would want to take your advice and follow your lead!

Oh Nino one more thing I’m going to go home now and get rid of all the diet soda and orange juice, that’s in my refrigerator and replace it with tons of bottled water!! Gee my friend once again your talking my language! My friend! What do you say I treat you to a refreshing ice cold bottle of water? Gee Nino now your talking my language let’s go!!

    Nino,

    The importance of drinking water is a great subject. You’ve nailed another topic that even us bodybuilders forget about. They say that your strength in the gym can be off as much as 20% if you aren’t properly hydrated! That’s a big deal to a lot of us who are trying to build muscle and beat our personal bests.
