Tip of a week

This week's tip is all about staying on top of your water intake:

You may have heard the old rule about drinking 8 glasses of water per day, but researchers at Harvard are now saying 4-6 glasses is the right number for most healthy people. As with so many other pieces of health advice, this can definitely vary by person. The right amount of water for you depends on how active you are, how much you're sweating, and whether you're eating foods or taking medications, including chemo, that can dehydrate you.

Get a reusable water bottle and carry it with you everywhere you go, refilling as needed. If you make it a point to refill it each time you head to a new appointment or errand, chances are you'll drink a lot more by the end of the day.
