After glancing at our town's 10 day forecast, I realize summer is upon us! It's time to get those water bottles out and filled with water! 

Consider these incredible facts about water: 

• At 4% water loss, muscle endurance diminishes and you start to get  dizzy 
• At 5% water loss, headaches begin, drowsiness, loss of concentration and unreasonable impatience occurs.
• At 6% water loss, body temperature is impaired and your heart begins to race.
• At 7% water loss, there is a good chance you will collapse​

How Much Water Should I Drink?

• Half of your body weight (lbs) in ounces of water per day.
• Drink an extra 8 oz of water for each cup of coffee, tea or soda that you consume.

Tip: Adding 1-2 drops of lemon or wild orange essential oil to your water makes it more enticing to drink for those who don't like water.
