Stay Hydrated!

One of the most important things to do to keep your body healthy is to keep hydrated.  A lot of times, especially during the warm weather, this is very hard and people often forget to drink water until it is too late and they are already dehydrated.  The average amount of water that one should consume a day is between 6 to 8.8 ounces.  Sugary juices and sodas often are not good for you to drink when you are dehydrated because caffeine tends to make people jittery and makes people frequently urinate, which will dehydrate you more.  These types of drinks also contain a ton of extra sugar and calories that your body does not need.  Make sure to stick to drinks that are healthier for you and that will keep you hydrated such as orange juice and water.  Also, make sure that you are consuming foods that contain water, such as fruits and vegetable!

  2. This is my biggest problem, I definitely do not drink enough water. I'm making it a goal to drink more this summer.

  8. I used to not drink enough water. I would wait until the point where I am so thirsty, but then after realizing the importance of drinking water, I drink (or try to drink) the 8 glasses a day. I've noticed I feel healthier and look a lot healthier. Especially in the hot summer days, its very important
