Aloha Ohana - it’s Wellness Wednesday here at KHC.

Did you know that water keeps every system in your body functioning properly?

The Harvard Medical School Special Health Report 6-Week Plan for Healthy Eating notes that water has many important jobs, such as:

- Carrying nutrients and oxygen to your cells

- Flushing bacteria from your bladder

- Aiding digestion

- Preventing constipation

- Normalizing blood pressure

- Stabilizing your heartbeat

- Cushioning joints

- Protecting organs and tissues

- Regulating body temperature

- Maintaining electrolyte (sodium) balance

Giving your body enough fluids to carry out those tasks means that you're staying hydrated.

Cheers!
