September Wellness Challenge:

Drink a glass of water on an empty stomach first thing after you wake up, every day for 30 days. Simple. But there is a lot more to it than that. Water is absorbed by the body much faster than any other fluid and although some of it is processed by and stored in the small intestine at a much slower rate in order to avoid overflooding the blood with fluid, that first jolt of water in the morning helps stabilize blood fluid volume and kick-start a whole lot of other beneficial processes.
