Warmer weather means we need to be even more vigilant about drinking plenty of water. Among the many benefits: It keeps us cooler. Getting the right amount of water each day also helps increase our metabolism and drinking a glass before a meal helps us feel full faster, so we’re less likely to overeat. Water is also good for digestion, healthy skin – and just about everything related to a healthy body! Drink water even when you are not thirsty. A good rule of thumb is to drink between a half-ounce and 1 ounce of water for every pound of body weight.
