Drinking water prior to feeling thirsty is what the body requires but in our busy, on-the-go lifestyles, it is the habit and custom to consume caffeinated beverages or energy drinks laden with artificial sweeteners which have more health consequences for us rather than healthy hydration. Hydration is paramount to our health and safety when we are walking or exercising and especially so if performed in high temperatures. It is possible to lose up to 10 cups of body water per day simply through normal functions of elimination.

From time to time we all seem to say to ourselves or to a friend or colleague that we want to start drinking more water. Sometimes we purchase an attractive container and set it on the desk in front of us and carry with us in our vehicle as that reminder to take another sip or drink another 8 ounces of water.

www.meyouhealth.com offers a fun and user-friendly widget for the desktop or via an App for the mobile phone called EVERY DRINK. The user gets to customize the length of their day to the number of glasses they want to drink. It's also fun because you must consistently drink before your virtual glass fills up and overflows.

Yet, it was by telling this story and how it led me on my path to gain some of the key insights in my life that managed to get me into the final 20 of an Inte ational speaking and writing competition. The Messenger Network invited speakers and authors from all over the world to share their story with their network and get as much support as they could. I entered this to stretch my comfort zone and get myself out into the world in a bigger way.
