Water! Yes, water is the first recipe for improving health. Water is essential to healthy functioning of our bodies and minds. All drinks are not equal to water. Drinks containing caffeine and alcohol actually cause the body to lose water. The importance of drinking water is not new. That said, keep track of your daily intake of liquids in actual ounces per day to see if you are drinking the recommended amount of water for you. One rule of thumb is eight 8-ounce cups of water per day. While this is a good starting point for simplicity, the actual amount of water that your body needs per day is influenced by your activities and lifestyle. This Mayo Clinic website has some useful information about water intake per day. Cheers!
