Thirsty Thursday: Water

We all know water is essential to all life on the planet...but do we drink enough of it?
Sadly for most of us, the answer is NO. 

How much water do you need daily? Check out this link which will calculate how much water YOU should be drinking: weight, exercise and environmental conditions.

I personally try to drink 80-120 ounces per day.
(I factor the water in coffee and tea, too)


Benefits of water:

• Keeps you alive ;)
• Helps with metabolism
• Detoxifies
• Transports nutrients and oxygen into cells
• Makes you LOOK healthy 


Steps to drink more water:

• Flavor your water naturally: add lemons, limes, cucumbers, or fruit (be creative!)
• Eat Water rich foods (watermelon, tomato, cucumbers, etc.)
• Get a water purification pitcher or system that attaches to your faucet.
• Keep cold water handy in the 'fridge & ice cubes in the freezer
 (I swear nothing tastes better than ice cold water!)

I recently bought these Ice 'n' Slice Trays from Amazon.com
I will definitely be doing a product review on these in the future...
The concept is just like a regular ice cub tray only there is a slot in the center to insert sliced lemon, limes or fruit. For example you would place the lemon slice in the all the slots of the tray and fill w/ water. Freeze and enjoy!



 What steps do you take to drink more water?
