Summer swelling means more water intake.

Hi, Everyone:

I've been busy weeding gardens, and all the rest of summer-time duties and have discovered swelling in my fingers as a result, I guess. Some of it is arthritis, I'm sure, but I believe the humidity and heat are a factor to my swelling, as well. So, I started upping my water intake again and I think it's helping.

It reminded me of how important it is to keep up with drinking that clear, fresh life-sustaining substance and so I thought I'd remind us about it here.

We should be taking in about eight cups of water a day, and I'll admit, I haven't been lately. But I'm getting back on track. With the summer heat, it is even more important that we get enough fluids into us.

So, please, join my challenge of keeping track of your daily pure water intake. Let's see who can reach the goal of eight cups a day for four days in a row. I'll check back in on Tuesday and report my water intake. I hope you will, too!

Blessings to all and may you all have a wonderful Canada Day weekend!
