Food Challenge: Drink more water!

Start by drinking an extra glass of water today! 💦

Water is the best source of staying hydrated, which staves off dizziness, weakness, low blood pressure, and feeling sluggish and tired.

Other beverages will help keep you hydrated, but sugary beverages can lead to weight gain and inflammation, and caffeinated beverages can cause excess urination!

How much water is enough? Many experts recommend 6-8 glasses a day for adults, and 4-6 glasses a day for kids.

In addition to keeping you hydrated, water provides lots of benefits to keep your body working well! According to a Harvard Medical School Special Health Report, water helps your body to:

💦Carry nutrients and oxygen to your cells
💦Flush your bladder of bacteria
💦Aid digestion
💦Prevent constipation
💦Protect your organs and tissues
💦Cushion your joints
💦Maintain your electrolyte balance

All of these are important for a healthy everyday lifestyle, and even more important when you add in exercise!
