Give me some water!

Our bodies are mostly water and we should really replace about 2.4
liters of water through drinking and the foods we eat, or take your
body weight, cut it in half and that's the amount of ounces daily, of fluid intake recommended.

But many of us follow this daily program:

Breakfast: Coffee (diuretic - which usually gets rid of more fluid than
is consumed), and toast or a bagel.

Lunch: Soda (diuretic) and a sandwich.

Dinner: - Wine or alcohol (diuretic) and meat and potatoes.

Where is the water?? In practice, I found
the less water one drank - the more health challenges they had, with
virtually no exceptions.

Cutting Calories...

Out of our daily diet, can be a more difficult task than adding them.

Our daily diet consists of around 2000 - 2500 calories a day - give or
take, depending on size, age and gender.

And 1/4, or more, of our daily caloric intake, in many cases, can be
the amount of calories in a "snack":
Mocha and a scone...over 800 calories.
A couple of Pop Tarts...around 400.

And for meals:
Big Mac - 590, large fries - 539 and large soda - 300...total - 1429
calories.
Double Whopper - 1,060, large fries and large soda...total - 1899
calories

Researchers also say that one-fourth of many Americans' calories come from
soda.

Just adding high caloric foods by snacking or combining meal items, can
raise our daily total and sometimes the only way to get back into our daily range,
is to skip a meal (or 2)...which is very difficult to do.
