It's Hot Out There --- Don't Forget Your H20

Here in So Cal it's been over 100 degrees every single day. Don't get me wrong, I like the heat, but really. Stick a fork in me -- I'm done!
It is so important to hydrate your body when it's warm outside. I'm sure you know to drink at least eight 8-ounce glasses of water throughout the day. But if you are in the heat at all, add at least two more glasses (or 16 oz.) to your normal amount.

Tired of plain water? I know I get bored with it. If you do too, try squeezing a wedge of fresh lemon into your bottle or glass. Be sure to use fresh, not bottled lemon juice whenever possible.

In the morning, instead of a second cup of coffee, have a cup of warm water with lemon juice. You'll be amazed at how good, and refreshing this can be.

And lemon is full of health benefits. The vitamin C in lemons is good for your immune system and skin. Lemon juice is also great for the digestive system (keeps you regular) and is also believed to help flush toxins from the body. This can help you feel better and be less prone to bloat.

Try it...I have done this for years and think it is a terrific "secret."
