The h2O Challenge!
How much water do you drink each day? Ironically it’s probably my favourite liquid, but I just don’t drink enough of it!
66% of our body weight is made up of water, and blood is 84% water. That’s a lot of water! Because of this, it is crucial that we drink enough water to keep our bodies hydrated. Natural water has all of the nutrients in it that we need to stay healthy. As we head into the summer, it is important for us to remember to stay hydrated. Spending hours out in the hot sun is wonderful, but without enough water we can end up in serious trouble!
We need to drink about 1.5 litres of water every day. Drinking this much water can help someone who is trying to find a healthy weight, and it can also change our skin. If you’re like me and you have dry skin, or problems with acne, drinking water is one of the best ways to help alleviate those issues.
I’m putting out a challenge for the month of June for all of us to drink eight-8 oz. glasses of water a day! I know it’s not easy, but I think if we all keep one another accountable this will be helpful! Be thankful for the wonderful natural resource that God has given us and drink up! So if you’d like to get in on this, here are the rules:
1. Please leave your link in the comment section, and I’ll post the links into this post.
2. Also please write a post on your blog and link back to here!
3. Save the following text below the picture that I have in this post and feel free to post it on your blog as a visual for the h2O challenge!
I’ll do some updates throughout the month to see how we’re all doing and give some tips on water purifiers as well as tips for those who don’t particularly like drinking water!
Join in the h2O challenge!

This sounds great! I’m going to post about it tomorrow. At work, I have a 24 oz water bottle that I keep at my desk and I try to drink two or three throughout the day, although I often fall short! But we normally only have water and milk, with the occassional juice and beer, at our house, so with meals it’s almost always water for us. Great idea!
