Fun facts about water:
-pure water has no smell or taste, and a pH level around 7 (I only know what half of this sentence means)
-water covers roughly 70% of the Earth's surface
-approximately 70% of the adult body is made up of water (!!!!!)
Okay, facts about water aren't really that fun, but it is essential for healthy living! I am supposed to drink 10 glasses a day (80 ounces), and while it sounds like a big number, I already drink a lot of water every day, so I figured I'd be fine.
I did a little experiment today, just to ensure I am getting enough of that good ol' H2O, and measured and noted every cup I swallowed.
BY NOON I'D ALREADY DRANK 100 OUNCES!!
Is it possible I'm drinking too much water?! I read somewhere than a healthy adult can safely drink THREE GALLONS of water per day. Okay, I'm not quite there yet...
Bored with water? My favorite ways to jazz it up:
-warm it up for a minute in the microwave and squirt a little lemon juice in it
-put fresh cucumbers and mint in it
-fresh ginger in an ice cold glass of water
Boring? No way! Day one is treating me pretty well..
