Out with the old and in with the new! After two years of wear and tear my Camelbak Groove completely broke. As you can see the straw isn't even attached anymore because I literally use it so much! Thanks to quick shipping, I spent my Saturday night sipping out of that lime lush beauty on the right.
I am not even kidding when I say I bring my Camelbak Groove everywhere. For those who know me, it is like a third appendage, it is with me at all times, and if I forget it, I often go back to my apartment for it or immediately have to buy a bottle of water. Now you probably think I'm crazy, "what's this girl's deal with drinking so much water?" WELL I'LL TELL YOU, HYDRATION IS THE KEY TO BEING HEALTHY!

You hear it all the time, "water is so good for you" or "drink more water" but do you even know why? Our bodies are made up of more than half of that clear good stuff! So, first and foremost, our bodies depend on water to function! Second, our brains often confuse hunger for thirst, because our thirst mechanism is so weak. SO, when you've already eaten your breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snack and think to yourself "Why do I still feel hungry?" your body is telling you I'M ACTUALLY THIRSTY, PLEASE DRINK SOME WATER! For all my fitness fanatics out there, it's even MORE critical for us to make sure we stay hydrated because our muscles need water to fight fatigue and to also replenish all the water we lost due to epic sweat sessions. Not sure if you're drinking enough water? Not to gross you out but the color of your pee is a great indicator if you're hydrated or not, darker urine indicates dehydration, lighter urine indicates your body is getting enough fluids, so if it's light or clear, you're totally hydrated!
Not sure how much to drink? That "eight glasses of water a day" isn't one size fits all for everyone, age, weight, activity level, as well as climate and medical conditions also factor in. I take medication that has thirst as a side effect, SO I drink more than the average person. You can talk to your doctor about it if you're really unsure or use a water intake calculator to help you determine the amount of water you should aim to drink a day!
