As children we learn that water makes up 80% of our bodies. Water aids in everything from memory retention and concentration to the healthy appearance of skin, our largest organ. Water nourishes our skin from the inside, as we protect and moisturize from the outside.
When the temperature outside heats up, our skin responds and dehydration occurs before we have time to notice or react. To counter the negative affects of everyday day water loss, we must replenish this important nutrient frequently. Doctors and Medical Researchers strive to have us drink 6 to 8 (8 oz) glasses of water every day. This sounds like a lot, and for many can be hard to achieve.
To help keep our bodies stocked with this beneficial liquid, here are a few tasty ways to entice you.
* Purchase an attractive pitcher and keep it filled with water in your refrigerator. Add blueberries, slices of lime, lemon, orange or strawberries for a quick tasty "pick me up".
* Treat yourself to reusable water bottles in your favorite colors and patterns. Each night fill them with chilled water from your pitcher and then change them out thru out the day.
* When eating out, sample new ice teas or flavored bottled water.
* When gift giving, remember your friends will forever benefit from your thoughtfulness when you present them with a lovely water bottle or two.
Be good to yourself this summer. Go have fun in the sun, knowing you have your body covered from the inside out.
