How much water are you drinking? In addition to what I read here, I’ve read that we should be drinking *50% of our body’s weight in water. You can make drinking water a more enjoyable experience by infusing it with flavors like cucumber, mint, favorite fruits, etc. Get creative with your favorite natural flavors, add them to a 1/2 gallon container, refrigerate for a couple hours minimum, and enjoy!

The book also offers information on ‘how to locate local medical, legal, and financial resources.’”
