Hi everyone! Welcome new followers as well as returning ones, I am very glad to have you!! Before you sit down to read this, if you can, go grab yourself a glass of water to drink as you read.
Water covers a little more than 70% of the earth's surface, so as you can imagine, and hopefully already know, water is very important. Its not just important for the fish and other organisms that reside it it, but its good for us humans as well. Water makes up roughly 60-70% of our bodies and its very important to keep that supply replenished each day. Its recommended that you drink 8, 8oz servings of water per day. Although you can supplement your liquid intake with other things, making sure you get at least 64 oz of water a day is important to living a healthy lifestyle. >>>You can go to this website to see how much water you should be drinking a day, based on your weight, and how much you exercise: http://www.bloodindex.org/Human_Water_Requirement_Calculator.php <<<<

What water does for your body:
Water helps to maintain health as well as excretion of wastes through sweat and urine. Water is very important for the transportation of nutrients throughout your body. Water is vital for fat metabolism, and flushing toxic wastes from your body. Water helps to keep your joints lubricated and working properly. Your brain is made up of 85% water, so staying hydrated insures that your brain will run smoothly.
4 Tips for getting your daily water recommendation:
1. Spread your water consumption out throughout the day. Drinking it all at once could make you sick!
2. Carry a water bottle around with you. Now days there are tons of fancy water bottles of all shapes and sizes.
3. Sodas and coffee can dehydrate you. As a rule, I try to drink 1-2 glasses of water for each caffeinated liquid I drink.
4. Get a Brita or PUR water filter. This way your being green, and saving money (I'm sure you've seen the commercials), plus many people think filtered tap water tastes better.
I would like to thank you once again for reading. I hope that you learned a little about how important water is for your body to function properly. I always feel so refreshed on the days I drink my daily recommendation, and I think you will too. However I have one more glass to go for the day, so I gonna go ahead and get started.
Happy drinking,
Eliza
