Small Steps: Water!
Channel: Nutrition&Strength
Date: 2018-06-22

In this video I encourage you to get enough water daily as an easy step to gaining better health.  I explain how I get all my water in throughout the day.  

Please keep in mind that I'm not a medical professional and all my advice is completely based on personal experience and not intended to replace the counsel of professionals!  

The first reviewer of the video suggested that I left something very important out of this discussion, namely, how much you'll have to run to the bathroom when you start getting and staying hydrated.  So, now you've been warned!  But your body WILL get used to it, and you will feel better as a hydrated individual.  :)

At the end of the video I mention sparkling water as an alternative to still water.  I do enjoy this from time to time as it is fun.  The concern I would have about it is the flavoring - if it is safe from anything you are avoiding, hence my gluten and lactose comment.
