Fountain of Youth: How to Fit in 8 Glasses of Water a Day

Drinking a lot of water is one of the biggest beauty secrets of many celebrities. Jennifer Aniston, Cindy Crawford, and Gwyneth Paltrow all claim that water is the reason for their beautiful, glowing complexion. But with busy schedules, how do you fit a full eight glasses of water into your diet each day? Many people believe they must replace other beverages with water to be able to fit in the daily 8 glasses a day, but a study conducted by Univeristy of Pennsylvania proves them wrong. You can get the 8 glasses of water intake you need through other liquids and also from food and the metabolic processes within your body that break down that food. Both juice and milk hydrate your body. Foods high in water content include all melons, apples, lettuce, tomatoes, and citrus fruits. The study did conclude that although these other drinks and food can help you to get in your eight glasses, nothing beats drinking good old plain water. One of the best options to jazz up tasteless water is to use the different products out there to flavor your water such as Crystal Light. One of the best things to add to your water is lemon. The juice of the lemon has amazing antioxidant properties, cleanses the liver of toxins, and increases your metabolic rate. Buy a reusable water container so that you can sip water throughout your day at work or school. Although you may be in the bathroom a lot, you will look great!
