Health and Safety Corner

Drinking water is essential for your health!

According to the Centers For Disease Control, drinking enough water every day is important for health. Drinking water can prevent dehydration, which may cause unclear thinking, mood change, overheating, constipation, and kidney stones. Water has no calories, so replacing sugary drinks with plain water can help reduce caloric intake. Water is also in certain fruits, veggies and other healthy drinks (such as watermelon, oranges, spinach).  

How much should you drink?

Women should drink about 2.7 liters daily and men should drink about 3.6 liters. Keep in mind, some of the daily required water intake can come from other healthy drinks and fruits. However, it is recommended to make sure that the majority of your daily fluid intake comes from pure water.
