i love how you always go back to water, it's like a reminder for me to keep drinking and motivation too because i hate it, but if it's for my health, then i will drink it! =]

90% of our brains is water and 10% grey matter. It is important to drink water. I drink it with fresh cucumber and it helps clean my skin too.

Slice up and freeze fruit (I like lemons and limes) then put a slice in with your water...it keeps it cool, and makes it taste more interesting !

True. But it shocks me hearing how many people say the "don't like water". I know what they mean, but it just kind of baffles me.

I love water. I know it's such a simple thing to love you're like, "Wha? But it's like... nothing!" But I just love to drink it. Especially when I didn't drink a lot and it's just so refreshing it makes me realize how much I missed it.

[benheart]

That's because you're 75% water.

It's so easy to forget to drink water! I enjoy it because it's so refreshing, but I have to put alerts on my phone to remember to drink some... Guess I've been dehydrated on such a regular basis that I don't even realize when it's happening anymore.
