Maintain your body’s fluid balance

The average adult loses about two and a half quarts or about 10 cups of water daily.
To maintain your body’s fluid balance, you need to replace it each day.

Go for 8 cups of water each day.  If you workout, you should drink even more.

Carry a water bottle with you; take a drink every time you pass the water fountain; drink a glass with each meal and each snack.
Before you know it you will have met your needs.  Over time your body will thank you with improved skin, hair and function.

All fluids like juice, tea, soup and even coffee count.
