April is Water Conservation Month!
Don't be like a cactus! Drink your water this month! Water is important for every vital body function, and even the slightest of dehydration can create complications for your entire system.
Remember, the recommendation of 8 cups of water per day is what adults need to be drinking. While this may be good advice for healthy individuals, after years of research and multiple studies (here's one), it is found that certain conditions, like Thyroid, liver, or kidney diseases may require specific amounts of water intake. Make sure to check with your doctor first if you have any health conditions.
Dehydration should be avoided by everyone, though.
This month we challenge you to consume 32 oz of water during the work day. Can you do it?? If you have a desk calendar, keep track of meeting your goal on there. Then at the end of the month, there will be a form to submit asking how many days you reached the goal!
