A major natural food store chain took some flak last week for having bottles of water containing asparagus stalks on one of their store\u2019s shelves. The asparagus water turned out to be a mistake and a big \u201coops\u201d moment for the chain, but not drinking enough water shouldn\u2019t be an \u201coops\u201d for you. I\u2019ve been paying more attention to this part of my plan lately in my quest to replace soda and other beverages with plain or flavored water. During our annual conference last month, I was surprised to hear how many of our top weight-loss winners<\/a> attributed part of their success to drinking more water. Our bodies are about 60% water, and getting enough fluids helps with regulating body temperature, digestion and even your appearance. It\u2019s amazing how something so simple can be so good for us. The trouble is plain water can be…well, boring. To help keep drinking more water fun and tasty during these last weeks of summer, check out my three favorite ways to flavor water.<\/p>\n
