Water, Water and More Water!!!

From the title I am sure you can already guess that this entry is going to be about WATER ! Good ol' H2O. People always ask me what they can do to be healthier and the first thing I do is ask them how much water they drink.


The body is almost 70% water! Your blood alone is made up of about 70% water! H2o is vital to maintaining healthy skin, hair, nails and normal body function. It hydrates your skin, flushes toxins out of the body and carries nutrients to cells. It is so important yet many people forget to drink adequate amounts.


The amount of water you should drink a day depends on different factors but you can go by the 8x8 general rule. This is eight 8oz glasses a day. This equals about 2 liters or 64 oz. If you are a very active person then you should drink more! The general rule (as funny as it sounds) is that if your urine is clear or very light yellow then you are well hydrated.

To help you remember to drink your 64 oz of water a day, carry around a water bottle with you. I always have a water bottle with me where ever I go. This way you will always have water available to drink. DRINK UP EVERYONE!!!
