A Word About Water
Water makes up more than 65 percent of the average adult human body. Babies are born with as much as 75 percent water composition, yet obese people can have as little as 45 percent body water composition. If the body does not get enough water, it cannot perform at maximum capacity. Water helps deliver oxygen all over the body; flushes waste and toxins; allows cells to grow, reproduce and survive; regulates body temperature; is used by the brain to manufacture hormones and neurotransmitters and much more.
Aim to drink your body weight in ounces of water. If you are not used to drinking this much water, try adding lemon wedges and a good quality herbal Stevia sweetener to your daily jug, or even flavorful green tea bags for an energetic treat!
A Word About Fish
Our fish are in pretty bad condition. Most farmed fish deal with sickness from overcrowding, parasites and growth hormones. In addition, they are stuffed with antibiotics making them less than nutritious for our consumption.
Unfortunately, many species of ocean fish have been over-fished, contain high mercury, lead, and arsenic levels due to industrial waste runoff, fuel emissions, and pollution like the nuclear plant disaster in Fukushima. More than 400 tons of toxic radioactive water flows into the Pacific Ocean daily
. Bio accumulation of heavy metals and organic pollutants is higher in fish like Bluefin Tuna, Albacore Tuna, King Mackeral, and Swordfish.
I recommend eating fish in moderation. The most healthy fish, I can recommend are wild-caught from the following brands: EcoFish, Wild Planet, High Seas, and Island Trollers. These brands practice sustainable fishing such as polling and trolling. Polling is also known as pole and line fishing, which has been practiced for centuries. Trolling is a low-impact, environmentally responsible fishing technique.

What Do Serena Williams and Tom Brady Have That You Don't?
Nope, not millions in the bank. They have something you could get today, but curiously almost nobody does. Elite-tennis player Serena Williams and NFL football quarterback Tom Brady both have coaches! 
In fact, almost all elite athletes have coaches who help them compete at their best and stay motivated. Successful people use coaches in many facets of their lives from business coaches to coaches for personal lives such as therapists.
