How much water should we REALLY drink per day?

I don't know about you, but I'm always thinking I should drink more water. 

But how much is the right amount?

And how can I remember to drink it?

 

HOW MUCH WATER SHOULD YOU DRINK? HERE’S A SIMPLE FORMULA:

Take your current weight and divide it by two. That number is the minimum amount of water (in ounces) you should drink daily.

For example, if you weigh 150 pounds, aim for 75 ounces of water each day.

But how do you remember to stay hydrated all day when life gets so busy?

Why drink more water? Here are the top 5 reasons:

  1. Better digestion & less constipation – A happy gut is a hydrated gut!

  2. Curb hunger & lose weight – Sometimes thirst masquerades as hunger. Drink water and save on calories!

  3. Glow-worthy skin – “Did you get Botox?” Nope, just staying hydrated!

  4. Detoxify naturally – Water helps your kidneys flush out waste. More water = healthier you.

  5. Reduce chronic pain – Dehydration can make pain worse. Water can make it better.

Here’s to your best health, always!

Is your Mattress ruining your life:

MATTRESS HACK! Here’s a Genius Idea:

Struggling with your mattress? I recently discovered (and tried) this simple trick to help you decide if it’s time for a new one.

Hopefully you’ve alreay tried flipping your mattress or spinning it head to toe. If not, do that first.. It can work wonders for your back, eliminating body impressions and making it feel brand new.

But what if your mattress is one-sided and can’t be flipped?

What if you’ve already flipped it and even spun it head to toe. Sometimes that works, but only once or twice as you’re still sleeping in the same “lines”.

Try this trick:
If you have a king-size mattress, it’s almost a perfect square. Rotate it 90 degrees—(turn it sideways) and sleep on it in a NEW direction a few nights. This is a bit confusing, don’t sleep sideways in your bed, but make your mattress go the different direction that you usually sleep on it. I gave it a shot, and it surprised me how good my back felt. This is a great indicator that it is INDEED your mattress, and might buy you a little time until you can find your perfect new one.
