Drink water

The truth is that many of us do not get enough water. The proliferation of more interesting alternative beverages, especially soft drinks, has caused us to replace water in our diet with these less healthy alternatives. In addition, we are eating more processed foods that do not have the water content that fresh foods do.

By replacing soft drinks and even fruit juices with water, you can go a long way toward being a healthy weight and at the same time provide your body with the water it needs to work well and eliminate toxins. 

For the sake of your health I hope you will make a conscious choice to drink more clear, fresh, unadulterated water. Break out the stemware and fill it with this most vital of beverages!
