It's cheap. It's guilt-free, no fat, no sodium, no calories. It's better for you than any other liquid on the planet. It fills you up. It makes your skin glow. It lubricates your joints. It cools your system. It clears your head. It freshens your breath. It doesn't stain your teeth. It's your body's favorite beverage choice. It's the liquid from the fountain of youth.
Water. Drink as much as you want. Never mind that a big glass can weigh a pound. It's a pound that may eventually release another half a pound of stale water and toxins from your body. So for every pound of water you drink when you are retaining water, you can expect to lose more than that when it all washes out soon after. It may take a day or a few. But pumping water into your system is the best thing you can do to get extra water out of your system.
If you're not already in the habit of drinking all the water you can each day, start by finding a water bottle or container you absolutely love. My favorite is a clear green insulated plastic glass I won at a dog agility trial. It has a snap-on lid and a rigid plastic straw. Because the glass is clear, I can see how much water I'm drinking. That's important. Because it has a rigid straw, I can mainline that water right down my throat in big, refreshing pulls.
Don't ever let your water container sit empty. Don't let it remain full for long either. Every time you get up to go to the bathroom, fill your water bottle at the same time.
Water. It's not just for goblets anymore
