On average each person should drink at least eight 8-ounce glasses of water. Trying setting goals of drinking one glass of water, maybe every 2 hours or so. There are apps that you can download that can remind you and even help you track the amount of water you've had.

Skipping a few meals may not seem like a very big deal, however, it can take a toll on our bodies. Some think that skipping meals will help them lose weight but there's more to that than just losing weight. Skipping important meals, such a breakfast can leave us lacking in nutrients that we need in order to have enough strength to go about the rest of our day.
