Drink up!

After a cool week on a Princess Cruise to Alaska we have had a week of temperatures in the three digits.  I just read that "nothing beats a glass of ice-cold water on a hot day.  Water plays a big part in the in the crucial physical processes, and can help prevent or ease  debilitating everyday physical complaints. #1. It boosts fat burning.  #2.  Recharges your immune system. #3.  Prevents skin disorders, ("when your skin is dry, the mucous membrane cracks and allows bacteria to enter.")  #4. Banishes headaches.  #5.  Ease arthritis pain...and #7. Re-energizes your body.  Your cells depend on water to produce energy.  The National institute of Medicine recommends that a woman drink 9 cups of water a day!  This has given me something to thing about. So drink up.
