The Importance of Staying Hydrated!
Your body depends on water to survive. Every cell, tissue, and organ in your body needs water to work correctly.

Dehydration can be a serious condition that can lead to problems ranging from swollen feet or a headache to life-threatening illnesses such as heat stroke.
