Stop ditching Water for Sodas and Artificial Juices!
I'm one of those who heavily advocates for drinking more water. People think I'm over-exaggerating the importance of water and that maybe 1 soft-drink or artificial juice isn't going to kill you, but what we fail to understand how many unnecessary toxins you've introduced into your body that has done nothing beneficial. So why waste the extra dollars for something that's serving you no purpose?
Up to 60% of the adult human body is water. Generally, an adult male needs about 3 liters per day while an adult female needs about 2.2 liters per day. Some of this water is gotten in food.
What Does Water Do For You?
