According to the U.S. Geological Survey- 60% of the human body is made of water, our brains 70% and our lungs 90%! That's a lot of water right? So how much should we all be drinking daily to stay healthy? Well it depends on whether you are male or female and how much you sweat (due to exercise or extreme heat). The Institute of Medicine determined that on average the daily amount an adult male should consume is about 3.7 liters (125 oz. or 15 cups) and for the adult female about 2.7 liters (91 oz. or 11 cups).

Make Drinking Water "Chic"!
I found these really great water bottles by a company called EarthLust! They're an Eco Friendly company that makes reusable water bottles out of "high quality food-grade steel and BPA- free polypropylene which keeps plastic water bottles out of landfills and our environment". Their designs are so much fun and 100% worth the buy!
