Water, Water, Water!

A person’s body is about 60% water and almost everyone has heard of the 8-glass-a-day rule. However, most Americans go through the day without enough fluid. Oftentimes we’re completely dehydrated.

Which is one of the worst looks for your complexion. Not to mention, it’s horrible for your brain! Even mild dehydration can effect our short term memory and cognitive functions.

So even if you follow the High School Reunion Diet to the letter, you’ll need to stay up on your water intake as well. Great diet alone won’t knock 20 years away.

One of my favorite ways to remember to drink enough is this: carry a reusable water bottle around in your purse or briefcase. I make sure to keep it filled throughout the day, topping it off at the sink after every bathroom break or run to the copy machine. When my bottle is in front of me and full I find the task of drinking isn’t so daunting.
