I Know You've Heard It Before, But You Should Drink More Water

Drinking enough water throughout my day can seriously make or break how I end up feeling.

I Know You've Heard It Before, But You Should Drink More Water

Water may not be the "tastiest" drink on the planet, but it is the most essential. I have always had a hard time trying to drink enough water. I never had the desire to and would always choose another beverage before drinking water. Recently since I have been at college, I have realized the importance of it. Drinking enough water throughout my day can seriously make or break how I end up feeling. I probably still don't drink enough water, but I am trying. I thought I could help encourage some of you to drink more water by listing all of the amazing things water does for us.

Keeps you hydrated

Clears up your skin

Makes you happier

Honestly! Water actually makes you less cranky because you won't be dehydrated and will feel a lot more energized.

Helps your body maintain homeostasis

Flushes out toxins

Makes your skin glow

Prevents cancer

Studies have shown that it can help prevent some types of cancer.

Helps maintain your weight

Prevents headaches

 Helps you perform better

 Lubricates your joints

This will help with anyone who may have joint pain.

 Delivers oxygen throughout the body

 Regulates body temperature

 Keeps you alive!

Now, if those reasons are not enough to get you drinking more water, then I don't know what can. If you are curious about how much water you should drink a day, there is information all over the internet. There are even apps that can track the amount of water you have had each day.

Best of luck and drink up!

We Need More Than Memorials this Memorial Day

When I was a child, I used to look forward to Memorial Day Weekend from the time I returned to school after Christmas vacation. It was the yearly benchmark announcing the end of the school year and the beginning of summer vacation. It meant I was one step closer to regattas, swim meets and tennis matches.

I remember how exciting summer was when I was a kid. I would just be eagerly waiting for school to end so that I could fly to some exotic location with my family for the summer. Or hang out with my friends every day. Or just lay around in bed or read, paint, draw, basically do whatever.
