Thanks for posting this! I am a loud supporter for water :) Most people I chat with drink like 2 glasses a day?! How do they even function? I once dated a girl that never drank water, only juice and milk. It's no wonder she had such problems with digestion and going #2! Her insides were probably drier than the Sahara in summertime.
Drink your water!
This is insane! Thanks for the good info.
It's true! - water increases your metabolism and helps you lose and maintain weight! I only recently learned that cold water actually burns more calories because it causes your body to work harder to warm the water to your body temperature! I LOVE ice cold water! :-)
