Are you concerned about looking in the mirror or going out with friends and
thinking that you might have some extra "junk in the trunk?" If so, there are
three quick ways to begin to get rid your "junk" while actually saving
money!
Number One Way: Drink More Water
The first way to reduce junk in the trunk is to drink more water. On average,
most people do not drink sufficient amounts of water. The recommended
minimum amount of water the USDA recommends for the average adult is
64 fluid ounces. This is equal to eight, 8-ounce cups of water.
While you can get some of your water from foods like watermelon and
cucumbers, it is best to get most of your water from actual water. Not
drinking enough water over time causes your body to store extra water under
the skin -- that is why some of the "junk in your trunk" is not fat... some of it
is actually retained water!
You will save money because you won’t have the cravings for soft drinks,
that extra cup of coffee, or even medicines to get rid of minor aches which
could be remedied simply by drinking enough water. Two links to help you

that exercise is something to dread. Yet since the human body was designed
for movement, we all know deep down that some form of exercise is good
for us.
