Are you drinking enough water?

  • Water accounts for 60% of your body.

  • Staying hydrated helps to keep your memory sharp, your mood stable and your motivation intact.

  • Water helps your skin stay supple, helps your body cool down when it's hot, allows your muscles and joints to work better and helps clean toxins from your body via your kidneys.

  • How much water should you be drinking? According to the National Academy of Sciences, adult men need about 13 cups per day of fluid, and adult women need about 9.

  • One of the best way to know if you're adequately hydrated is to monitor your urine color: If it's light yellow (the color of lemonade or straw), that means you're probably drinking enough.
