Hydration

Keep yourself hydrated.
Research shows most of us aren’t getting enough fluids. Skip the sweetened beverages and drink H2O instead.


Where do you get most of your liquids from? A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition shows that most of us aren’t getting the minimum amount of water recommended by the U.S. Institute of Medicine, and that the fluids we do ingest are derived largely from sweetened beverages and moisture-packed foods.

Even mild dehydration can lead to fatigue, muscle weakness and decreased mental capacity. Drink water or milk at meals, and have sips of water throughout the day.
