  Are you Staying Hydrated?
  

  Good Morning

      I was reading this article this morning and it was talking about how staying hydrated is very important for us to do. According to the NAPSA, the article goes on to talk about how we take for granted the amount of liquid we consume. It also stated that we should consuming about 48 ounces of fluids everyday. I thought that this interesting because I ask the question, Does my family consume that much fluid a day? My family drinks alot of fluids because they are thirsty but are they doing even if they are not. My children are very active this summer and I will defintely be making sure that pump more fluids in there systems.

   

   The article goes on to say that there are many ways to stay hydrated and one of them are drinking TEA. OOH!! I love Tea. I love any kind of TEA, Green Tea, Raspberry Tea, Lemon Tea just tea it self. Fitness expert Trainer of Oprah Winfrey, Mr. Bob Green says that Tea is a natural source of antioxidants that can be tasty way to stay hydrated.
