Whisper Wednesday: Increase Water Intake





One of the many benefits of massage is increasing the flow of your lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is part of the immune system, which has several functions. Some of these include filtering out cellular waste; providing nourishment for the tissues of the body; helping to maintain the body's fluid balance; and assisting in the digestion of fats.

To ensure that you are drinking the minimum amount of water for your size, take your weight and divide it in half. The resulting number is the minimum amount of water that you should drink in ounces. Depending on your level of activity, you'll need to increase this amount.

Easy peasy! Now, drink up!
