hydrating bannerSummer is just around the corner which means that the hot weather is on its way. One of the most important things we can do for our body when its hot outside is to stay hydrated. We tend to sweat a lot more in the heat, and we need to make up for the water that our body has lost. Not only does it give you more supple skin, but staying well hydrated is beneficial to your brain, heart, muscles, joints, and basically anything else that helps your body keep moving. Drinking water is great, but there are other options for making refreshing beverages that are not only fun for the summer, but very beneficial to your health.
