The importance of good nutrition and exercise taught early on can lead to a lifetime of healthy practices. As part of an overall health program, Leslie advocates the importance of adequate water consumption.
Water is vital for every system in our bodies.
I try to drink 8 to 12 glasses of water a day. It provides a host of other health benefits such as improving exercise efficiency and endurance, moisturizing skin, fighting off common colds and much more. Since water makes up a higher percentage of children's bodies, they dehydrate more quickly. Leslie recommends giving your children water several times a day. When not fulfilling her duties as Mrs. America 2000, Leslie enjoys volleyball and softball.
