Most health problems or feelings of fatigue during the day are caused by dehydration..

Tips 

* Please try to drink the purest form of water.. careful of added minerals and flouride which do more harm than good...


* Try to drink 20 min before meals and 20 minutes after.. let your stomach digest its food. drinking during meals.. especially cold drinks disturb digestion and can be very harmful.  In fact, an ice cold drink can completely halt the digestive process. Drinking cold water during digestion is like cooking a meal and right in the middle sticking it in the fridge...

*drink water room temperature or warm aides in digestion. its better for the body... i know ew ew ew.. we're all use to cold, icy water.. well.. get use to it! its better for ya

* Adding fresh squeezed lemon will make your water tastier, and is awesome for ridding the body of toxins ..purifies the blood has potassium which is good for you nervous system (depression and anxiety can be traced to low potassium levels) and is a healthy boost of vitamin c! yey  

*try to use glass containers when on the go

* when you wake up drink 1.5 liters  (thats about 3 tall glasses of water) thats sure to get rid of any yucky toxins, best in the morning before you eat so the foods don't interfere with the process

Remember when you are feeling thirsty, this is your bodies final signal .. if you were properly hydrated you would not be feeling thirsty!
