We are used to focusing on good hydration during the hot summer months, but did you know that drinking enough water is just as important in the winter?

- Water is the vehicle that moves nutrients between cells, and as such it plays a very important role in how well your healthy diet is able to do its job of nourishing your body
- It helps your cells to detoxify while you sleep, flushing cellular waste out via the lymphatic and urinary systems
- Proper hydration helps the immune system as well, by strengthening your body’s first germ barrier - the skin
- And being well hydrated helps the various muscle groups in your body to function optimally so that you feel strong and energized.

Make it a goal this winter to drink 8 - 10 glasses of clean, filtered water a day, and replace afternoon caffeine breaks with a tasty and hydrating herbal tea. You are bound to notice a difference!
