One Good Thing A Day – Project Day 42 – No more boring water!

Surely by now, everyone knows the benefits of drinking water and staying hydrated.

Most people say that you should drink 8 glasses of water a day, but actually, an adult male should drink around 14 cups while an adult female should have around 12 cups a day.
