Water, water everywhere!


Looking for a drink that tastes great and has zero calories?  Try WATER!!

Just like plants, our bodies need a constant supply of water.  Hard as it is to drink water in the cold of winter it is essential for our bodies to function properly.  Now the warmer weather is here it's more important than ever to keep our water levels 'topped up' as we lose increased moisture through our skin in the heat.

If you're in the habit of forgetting to drink water try filling up a large jug or water bottle in the morning and keep it near you throughout the day.  Aim for 8 glasses of water a day.

Drinking more water will help you reduce intake of soda and will stave off those 'hunger' pangs you feel mid afternoon.  Often these are not 'hunger' at all but thirst signals that we are misreading!


So while we're being told to drink less caffeine, less alcohol and less soda - go ahead and drink MORE water!  Cheers!!
