The Difference it Makes

This is sponsored content from BlogHer and Crystal Light.





We are so dehydrated, it's not even funny.  Most people are not hydrated like they should be. If I were a plant, I would be incredibly....well, I would probably look like this:



Okay, so that's mostly dead.   No.  Let me rephrase.  That's ALL dead.   Since I don't get enough water, though, I SHOULD look like that.
All brown and crusty and weepy.    I can think I'm okay, but usually I'm not. 

When I realize I don't have enough water in my body, I notice that I am crabby and exhausted.  Being hydrated helps me  to be focused and to just be more pleasant all around.
 I need to keep water by my side wherever I go so that I can remember to keep drinking.  However, by the end of the day, I am usually bored of drinking water.  So I'm glad when I have Crystal Light or something besides a pop (or yet another glass/bottle of water) to drink.

Being hydrated makes a difference to keep me focused and kind.  I've got 4 little ones to take care of and need to be that if not more!

Love Water!

Water really quenches my thirst. Instead of having soda, flavored water is a nice treat.

We do often take water for granted and don't appreciate it like we should.

I think Crystal Light helps me enjoy water!

I love water, but once in a while I crave something a little sweeter. I just discovered Crystal Light Fitness, which has natural sweeteners (the others give me a headache). I carry them in my purse when I am away and want something sweet I have them nearby.

I didn't use to love water. In fact I downright hated it! But I had to train myself to drink it after some not-so-pleasant experiences involving kidneys. Now, I notice a difference right away when I haven't been drinking enough water.

i have a love/hate relationship with water. i either love it and have no problem drinking it or i'm so tired of it that i just don't want it at all. have to agree that the option of flavoring with crystal light helps when i'm not all that into the water.

I feel better when I drink plenty of water. I also tend to eat healthier when I drink enough water. It seems to curb the cravings for junk food. LPoser1 [at] gmail [dot] com

I basically drink more than enough water each day, plain water, not soft drink or whatsoever. Gotta love it!

I like water ... quite a bit actually. I might want to try the crystal light fitness someone mentioned ... I don't prefer stuff with aspartame/sucralose/etc.

I used to drink Crystal Light daily, but then developed a severe senstivity to artificial sweetners. I only drank water with lemon or iced tea for years. Now, with Crystal Light's new Pure line (I LOVE THE LEMON LIME) I can treat myself every day with a tasty hydrator!!

As Burt Lancaster said in "The Rainmaker",

"Water! I recommend it"

Thrifty Me said...

I know water is good for me and that it is important to stay hydrated so I picked up a reusable water bottle (BPA free of course), and it has entirely improved my intake because I can take it everywhere. I make a point of drinking from it whenever I see it. I started drinking about half a bottle, but I am now up to four a day. My husband keeps the Crystal Light single packs in his desk at work which keeps him drinking more water as well.

When I'm really thirsty, there's nothing like water! My lips are less likely to be chapped when I stay hydrated.
