Choose Water
This week choose water instead of sugar-sweetened beverages. Replacing these 'liquid calories' with water is a key strategy to eliminating excess calories. Not only is water important for your nutrition, but it also helps your body; lubricate and cushion joints, protect your spinal cord, and rid your body of wastes. The Institute of Medicine determined that an average adequate daily intake for men is roughly 13 cups and 9 cups for women.
