How much is enough?

There are lots of guidelines out there regarding how much water
you should drink daily. The truth is that the best way to gauge
how much water you need is to listen to your body. If you respect

your body and make it a point to be in tune with its needs, you will
consume enough water. Your urine color can help you decide if
you need to drink water. If your urine is a dark yellow, you are most
likely not drinking enough. If you urinate infrequently, the same

may be true. Urine will be a very pale yellow, or even white, if you
are consuming enough water. If you are thirsty or participating in
sporting activities, pick water as your first beverage choice. Stay
clear of sports drinks, juices, sodas, and sweetened drinks of any

kind. They will only dehydrate you more.

Drink a large glass of water, with lemon, first thing in the morning
and thirty minutes before and after each meal. Keep a BPA-free,

reusable water bottle with you during the day, and get into the habit
of drinking water instead of other beverages.
