  1. Heck, get up and walk down the road, you’ll be back in a minute right?! And you’ll feel much better than you did when you got up.

    Happy, healthy holidays!

  2. These are great tips. Let’s especially not forget our consistent exercise program during the holiday season. Let’s not make the excuse that we don’t have time, please, force ourselves to have time.

  3. You are so very welcome Lynn!

    Aldhis, this is a great tip I learned from Stephen Cherniske, author of The Caffeine Blues.

    Really nice guy, and talk about smart!

    He says that if you drink 4 ounces, no more, no less, and then wait for 15 minutes, you should begin to feel your thirst rather quickly. When 15 minutes has passed, drink only 4 more ounces and wait another 15 minutes before you check in with your thirsty meter:)

    Keep repeating this process only until you are no longer thirsty.

    When you meet your water needs first thing in the morning, you become aware when your need for water returns. By sipping water all day long we can stay well hydrated, which is very health building.

    Water is necessary! The more water you drink, the less you will feel like drinking health robbing beverages.

    If I have a headache, a couple glasses of water work better than an aspirin.

    As far as how much, Stephen says half your body weight in ounces is a good rule of thumb.

    Take a shower on the inside. Have a glass of water!

    Many blessings,
    Carrie
