Drink More Water
Water constitutes about 75% of our bodies and it is essential for good health and well-being. We require proper hydration to regulate temperature, cushion joints, eliminate wastes and for countless other functions.
Experts observe that many of us are chronically dehydrated. In fact, some people confuse their body’s signals for thirst, as hunger signs!
What Kind of Water?
Drink pure water, ideally without chlorine, chemicals and the impurities often found in municipal water supplies. Enjoy the convenience and cost savings of adding a water filtration system in your home.
How Much Water?
Divide your weight in pounds in half. That should be your daily water intake in ounces. For example. If you weigh 160 pounds (72 kg), divide by two; you should be drinking at least 80 ounces (2.2 litres) of water a day, even more if the weather is hot or dry.
Your body has a constant need for water. Sip it throughout the day so you never feel thirsty.
