Episode 41 - Drink Your Water!

On this episode of The Health & Happiness Podcast, we talk all about water, hydration, and dehydration. I think we're all aware that water is important for us, but we're delving further into explaining why it's important, what the mild, moderate, and severe symptoms of dehydration can be, and what it means to be truly hydrated. As always, we dig into the research, and share some tips on how to make it easier to make sure you're drinking enough water.
