Here's What I Found Out About Water....

Here' what I found out about water... I LIKE IT!  It makes me feel good.  Water is refreshing, it's clean. Water makes me feel full, it curbs my cravings.  Better yet it's all the rage!  Even people who haven't fully committed to a healthy lifestyle agree that they and their families should be drinking water.  With so many craft beers and cocktails out there, why not have your own crafted water! Do you know how many different flavors and combinations of refreshing water drinks you can make for yourself and your family?  The sky is really the limit!  Why don't we have Water Bars?  Hmmm, maybe I should start one.  I could have a list like a martini list but with all my flavored waters.  People could get together and talk about their day, relax, maybe have some live music, some healthy appetizers and salads on the menu.  Best of all, after Water Happy Hour people wouldn't get DUIs or have spent all of their money, (of course we would have to charge for the fresh fruit and veggies, and you would certainly have to tip your Watertender appropriately!)  The day after Water Happy Hour you certainly would not feel like you got run over by a Mack Truck the previous day.  Something to think about (still in development phase, not ready to take to Shark Tank just yet!).



Not sure how to follow that tangent but here goes.  There are several reasons why water is AWESOME!  Here are a few:

1. Aids in weight loss
2. Powers  you through your hot weather exercise
3. Good for digestion
4. Helps endurance athletes fight fatigue
5. It can improve mood
6. Helps prevent headaches
7. Keeps your kidneys working
8. Energizes you
9. Soda water makes healthier cocktails (if you are going to cocktail, winkee face)
10. And if you are going to cocktail, it takes the edge off hangovers
11. Help keeps you alert
12. Protects joints and cartilage
13. Helps you think more clearly
14. Keeps your skin looking good

And the list goes on and on....
