Hi everyone. I'm finally back again. Found this article in my email. Thought you might be interested.

When it comes to your health, water is undoubtedly the first-prize winner. Here are a few different things you can do to quench your body’s thirst for H2O:

1. When you wake, start the day with a glass of water.
2. Keep a pitcher of chilled water in the fridge.
3. Always carry a bottle or jug of fresh water with you.
4. Avoid drinking large amounts of caffeinated beverages, as caffeine causes you to lose water.
5. Take a few sips from a water fountain whenever you run into one and change your walking path at work to be sure you pass one more often.
6. Start every meal by drinking a glass of water, even if you are drinking another beverage.
7. If you’re hungry, drink a glass of water before your scheduled snack.
8. Increase your fresh fruit and veggie intake within your carbohydrate allowance.
9. Keep sugar-free frozen pops and gelatin on hand for refreshing breaks.
10. Plan ahead by placing water or containers to hold water on your shopping list, and make daily water goals, such as working up to at least 8 to 10 cups per day. A quick way to estimate your hydration status is to check the color of your urine. It should be pale to colorless.

There's a recipe I'll post later. Tona
