With all of these important reasons to drink water, how do you know if you are drinking enough?

It is recommended that the average person drink a minimum of eight 8 ounce glasses of water per day.If you are exercising the amount should be an additional 400 -600 milliliters to compensate for the fluids lost. Also, drink more water in the scorching southern summer months.

To be sure that you are drinking enough water, it is helpful and economical to use a refillable cup or bottle. My personal favorite is the Tervis Tumbler, I refill it countless times per day.

Drink up and stay hydrated!!
