Drink Up!

We all know we're supposed to drink water.

Specifically:  DRINK WATER …

We all know we’re supposed to drink water.  We all know we probably don’t drink enough.  But, do you know exactly why you need to stay hydrated?  It’s surprising what you may not know.  For instance, dehydration fuels anxiety, reduces performance and creates hunger (among many other things).  In our latest Nourish Noshes Podcast we spell out 10 reasons why drinking water can upgrade your health and performance.  Bonus:  If weight loss is your goal, can drinking more water help?  Listen here.

PURE, UNADULTERATED WATER

We don’t talk about plastics and the hormone disrupting effects of BpA in this podcast – we talk about that in this podcast  But it deserves to be mentioned again.  Plastic water bottles are everywhere and we could go on a rant about the environmental impact.  We cringe seeing the water isle in Costco and witness the piles sitting in the window in the direct hot sun at dollar stores.  Buying bottled water is a waste of money and resources.  Suggestion: buy a Kleen Kanteen or glass bottle.  There are some great options on the market today for easy and portable options.

Drink Up Water DropTap water has gotten a bad rap – for some good reasons – but it might just be better for you than buying the plastic bottled water.  Why are you spending the extra money?  The industry has recently made a positive step; water is now being sold in cartons and boxes instead of plastic.

For additional alarming statistics, research and suggestions on water filters – including full-house water filtration systems – go to the Environmental Working Group and read about water options.  But first, check out the Nourish Noshes podcast Drink Up.

Oh, and yes, feel free to ‘sex up your water bottle’ with fruits and veggies – it’s a treat for sure.
