Water for Good Health

During the holiday season people are so consumed with eating that they often forget to drink enough water.

Lots of water helps reduce the effects of alcohol. A good rule of thumb is to have a glass of water after every glass or shot of alcohol. This helps dilute the alcohol, helps fill you up and rehydrates your body whereas alcohol dehydrates your body.

Constipation is often caused by not enough water. A dry bowel does not pass feces well. The result is bloating and constipation.

Drink 2 litres of water each day and feel great for it.

Walking is good for you

Did you know that by walking just an extra 20 minutes a day you can burn off 7 pounds of fat in one year. Now this is "extra" walking over and above what you are already doing.

Walking is low impact to your body which most of us can handle. Besides the weight loss you'll be able to de-stress and enjoy some fresh air.

Go ahead, take a walk!
