“Drink more water” – It’s a statement you probably hear constantlyfrom doctors, magazine articles, advertisements, and even mom!!! But how much water are you really supposed to drink and how can you make doing so a bit easier? Frankly, water isn’t everyone’s first choice in beverages, but it should be.
