Welcome everyone! This week's healthy habit challenge is WATER and making sure we are drinking enough, especially when we begin a new fitness regimen and add additional fiber (fruits+veggies) to our diet.
Mayo Clinic recommendation:
So how much fluid does the average, healthy adult living in a temperate climate need? The Institute of Medicine determined that an adequate intake (AI) for men is roughly about 13 cups (3 liters) of total beverages a day. The AI for women is about 9 cups (2.2 liters) of total beverages a day.
