How much water are you consuming daily?

Don't discount the importance of water intake and health. Many Americans spend most of there life in a mild state of dehydration. It can cause low energy, constipation, depression, poor athletic performance and on down the line. Remember, our bodies are predominantly made up of water.

The old rule of eight, eight ounce glasses of water a day may be OK for some, but not for you. For instance, the research I've done for myself lead to between 100-120 ounces per day. I'm moderately active, 5'9" and 170 lbs. That's over eight, twelve ounce bottles of water per day for optimal health.

Food can account for up to 20% of your water intake if you eat a healthy diet. What Jack Lalanne said has always stuck with me. You must offset every caffeinated or alcoholic beverage with a glass of water as they are diuretics.
