Drink Plenty of Water!

Drinking water and plenty of it we all know is so important. Every system in your body depends on water. Water flushes toxins out of vital organs, prevents dehydration and carries nutrients to your cells. Every day you lose water through your breath, perspiration, urine and bowel movements.


So how much water does the average, healthy adult need? In general doctors recommend eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day. Which is 64-ounces or a half gallon of water. This also can go up for individuals who are very active or drink a lot of caffeine.


Sometimes it’s hard to gauge how much water we drink throughout the day. In the past I used to take a gallon container and use that to fill my water bottle up throughout the day. This is easier of course if your at home. Or figure out how much your water bottle holds and be sure to drink a certain amount of them during the day.
