Wondering why you should drink water this summer (and ALL YEAR for that matter)?  Check out this website for information on water's many benefits: http://www.mangosteen-natural-remedies.com/benefits-of-drinking-water.html

 

If you are one of those people that REALLY hates to drink water, chug a large glass when you wake up, before and after lunch, and before and after dinner.  When you are used to that, add a couple more throughout the day!
