Did you get a glass of water? If not, I’ll wait. You back? Okay, have a sip and keep reading.

Many of us tend to satisfy hunger when thirst should be a higher priority. Water helps with digestion, fatigue, and adds energy. It cleans and rinses out our systems. If that doesn’t convince you, then know this: a human can go up to eight weeks without food but can’t live past five days without water. Okay, now finish your glass. Thanks.
