Five Things You Can Do Today to Kick Start a Healthier You
1. Buy a Reusable Water Bottle and Use It!
According to the American Dietetic Association’s Complete Food and Nutrition Guide, the average adult loses about two and a half quarts or about 10 cups of water daily. This needs to be replaced to maintain your body’s fluid balance. Another interesting statistic, 37 percent of the population has such a weakened thirst response that symptoms of dehydration are routinely mistaken for hunger.
Experts recommend that women drink between 8 and 9 8oz glasses of water a day. It’s a whole lot easier to make sure you’re getting your recommend amount if you’re carrying a water bottle with you at all times. Plus, if you keep it at your desk at work, it gives you an excuse to get up once in awhile and move around.
