why you should drink more water

Water Is The Most Important Beverage You Consume

I always tell myself that life is not life without water.

My favorite drink is water. I understand that not everybody likes water because it has no taste to it. Whenever I drink water, I usually find a taste to it. I can only say that water is really water. I started to like drinking water when I heard that it is good for skin health. I make sure that I drink an abundant amount of water so that my skin health remains good. It is always good to have good skin health.

I prefer to drink water when its temperature is hot. I like to feel warm during the cold and hot seasons. The only times when I drink cold water is when I feel like I want to drink it during the hot weather to cool off or when there is no hot water. At my university, there are refill machines that only give cold water. I still drink water from the university because I need to drink an abundant amount of water. I cannot go through college with just one bottle of hot water from home. I just bear with the cold water and know that I need a plenty amount of water to drink.

I always tell myself that life is not life without water. I do like other drinks like orange juice and lemonade. However, I need to make room for water. I know that I need it to survive. Sometimes, I drink it during my meals. Most of the time, I do not since I prefer to drink water outside of my meals. No matter what, I make sure that I drink enough water for my life. I am not too crazy about water, but I just think that it is right to drink plenty of water. Does water serve the same importance to everyone else?

These Are 4 Proven Ways That Vaccines Cause Autism

Stock up on those essential oils.

Let's just start with the first (and main) point.

1. They don't.

Susan in your anti-vax group is not a scholarly source (despite her hours and hours of Google research).

2. But in case you still believe Susan...

Maybe you'll believe Autism Speaks who says, "Scientists have conducted extensive research over the last two decades to determine whether there is any link between childhood vaccinations and autism. The results of this research is clear: Vaccines do not cause autism."

3. And if Autism Speaks still didn't convince you...

Feel free to take a look at this comprehensive list of studies that all say that there is no relationship between vaccines such as the MMR vaccination and the development of autism.

4. But here's what you should know...

There have been a few studies lately that have shown that autism develops in utero aka before a baby is even born AND before a baby can even receive vaccinations.

Vaccinations have prevented COUNTLESS deaths and illnesses. Vaccination rates are continuing to fall and do you know what that means? Measles will make its way back. Whooping cough will come back. Rubella, mumps, and polio will come back and there will be no way to stop it.

So, now that you know that vaccines do not cause autism, you're welcome to go tell Susan from your anti-vax group that as well as tell her that the Earth isn't flat. But, don't forget to mention it to her that her essential oils and organic foods are not keeping her children safe from the measles or tuberculosis.

Vaccinate your children. And, besides, even IF vaccinations caused autism, wouldn't you rather have a child with a developmental disorder rather than a child who died from the measles?

Working On My Emotional Health Is At The Top Of My To-Do List

I'm finally realizing the importance of my mental and emotional health.

The month of April has been so eye-opening for me. For the first bit of the year, I felt like I was in a slump; like I was just going through the motions and not fully living my life.

I was letting boy drama, school stress, and my poor actions to deal with those issues take over my life. I was allowing the anger and shame from those mistakes bubble up inside me until I was just about ready to explode.

I was allowing myself to go back to old ways of coping with problems that I knew weren't healthy, but I knew would be a short-term fix.

I simply wasn't living.

Then, one day I woke up and told myself I needed to change, and that if I didn't, I'd be on this same path ten years from now... or worse. I told myself I needed to get my life back on track with the Lord and with who I want to be as a rising senior in college.

After meeting with one of the leaders at my church (btw, everyone needs a Mrs. Jenny in their life!) and with my therapist, I'm starting to realize how important my emotional health is. My way of dealing with problems hasn't been working all that well, so I know it's time to try something else.

It's all going to be a huge learning process (and at times, an uphill battle), but I know working on my emotional health now will build me to be the best I can in the future.

By learning to become more open to healthier ways of dealing with issues as they come up (like not avoiding problems and actually facing them head-on), I know I can become my best self, and that is something I'm willing to work on with my whole heart.

So, I'm learning to let go of needing to control everything in my life because honestly, wanting to control everything puts me more out of control than when I first started.

And, I encourage you to do the same.
