Work to increase how much filtered and/ or bottled water you drink each day; Either drink 6 to 8 (8 oz) glasses of water each day or better yet take your bodies weight and divide this number by 2 and this equals the amount of ounces you should drink of water each day. Slowly work up to this number and watch your bodies health improve!!
