Water is more important to life than any other nutrient. Staying hydrated also helps keep excess weight off. There are several things I try to do to ensure I stay hydrated. I carry water with me in my water bottle, and I’m deliberate about scheduling my water intake. You can improve your health through healthy water consumption. Control what you can control in your environment. Pre-position that water bottle on your nightstand, carry water with you throughout the day, and set intermittent goals within the course of each day.
