Challenge #1

Challenge #1 -  Water: Drink More of It!!

Pure water is the world's first and foremost medicine.  ~Slovakian Proverb

Water Facts:
  • Water makes up over 2/3 of the human body
  • The average adult sweats one pint of water per day
  • The human brain is 95% water
  • A 2 % drop in water content can spark symptoms of dehydration

Challenge Summary: Drink one half of your body weight in ounces of water EVERY day. This does not include tea, coffee, soda, wine or juice.

Example: a 150 pound person will need to drink 75 ounces of water each day.

Tip for Success: I recommend that you measure out the total amount of water needed each day and package it so that you will be more likely to drink it.  I use a water bottle that I know needs to be emptied 3 times each day in order for me to reach my goal. I only drink out of that bottle so I know exactly how much water I have consumed each day.
