Staying hydrated in the winter is just as important as it is during the hotter summer months. Even though you may not be feeling as thirsty, your body still needs the benefits and replenishment of water. Since your body is 70% water, the nourishment water provides is easy to understand: reducing fatigue through regeneration of cellular activity, better skin, help for digestive issues, weight loss, and even slowing down the aging process. Since you love Essential Oils why not incorporate them more into your daily hydration.
