Did you know 60% of our body is made up of water! You’re probably wondering “why?” Well I got a few pointers for you…

Clears out waste naturally produced doing daily activities.
Regulates body temperature.
Keep joints healthy, lubricated, and cushioned.
Helps prevent constipation, kidney stones, overheating, and inflammation.
Promote healthy brain performance ( water loss can lead to memory, mood, and concentration issues ).
Helps with energy ( dehydration can make you feel sluggish and tired ).
Weight management and weight loss ( because it makes you feel full and prevents you from eating as much ).
Tips to drinking more water throughout the day :
Drink 16 oz of water first thing in the morning
Order water with meals when eating out ( saves money too ).
Add lemon, lime, herbal teas, or prepare a water with fruit in it for flavor.
Carry a reusable water bottle throughout day.
Drink warm water when it’s cold outside to keep warm.
Drink ice cold water when it’s hot outside to keep cool.
PS - The taste of water reflects our mouth’s chemistry and biology, gross but true! Make sure you are brushing, flossing, and following your dentist’s recommendations on proper hygiene!
