Eight glasses? One gallon? HOW MUCH water should you be drinking every day?

There are so many conflicting answers out there, but I recommend your current body weight x .5 = ounces of water / day

If you are very active, or you consume a lot of caffeine, you might need even more!

Water accounts for about 60% of our body mass.

Water is the most important nutrient in the body, and the most common nutrient deficiency in America.

Early signs of dehydration include headache, fatigue, increased heart rate, irritability, mood changes, fatigue, and cravings. You may also feel it in your workouts...

So next time you have a headache, try drinking a glass of water before you pop the pain relievers!

If you are looking for a healthy habit to focus on through the holiday season that does not involve any type of deprivation or restriction, consider upping your water game!
