Water, and lots of it!


How much water do you drink every day? I bet it's not enough. You should be consuming AT LEAST a gallon of fresh water daily.

I am always asking people, "How much water do you drink during the day?" Inevitably they say, "Oh, lots. I drink water all day long."

Well, my idea of lots and theirs are two different things.

I challenge people to take a one gallon juice jug, rinse it thoroughly and fill with fresh water. Take this with you to work or keep it in your frig at home if it's the weekend.

Then, drink the entire bottle during the day. Now you have a gauge of how much you should be drinking. And, more than that is even better. I have a 16 oz. glass on my desk that I fill 8 to 10 times a day. Yes, I have to go to the restroom a lot, but it is worth it. I stay hydrated, my system gets flushed and my kidneys function extremely well.

Try it!
