drink up, buttercup!

Fresh, unpolluted water.
According to Mister Brazier, in Thrive: foods, our world is made up of 75% water; however, only a measly 0.08% is unpolluted and used for human consumption. 0.08%.  0.08%. 0.08%. 0.08%. !!!!! That is just nuts!!!! Having a completely strict vegan diet reduces the amount of water total humans consume through their resources. For example, Brazier says that it would take almost 60 standard bathtubs full of water to produce one pound of beef; whereas, only about 1.5 bathtubs full of water to produce a pound of sweet potatoes!  Water is important people! So feel good about your diet, and appreciate having clean water to drink each day. Here are great health benefits to water (click here to read more!):

1. helps digestion, leading to weightloss!
2. fuel our brains by feeding our brain cells- especially improves memory and focus
3. keeps your skin nice
4. keeps your body hydrated 
5. improves your mood! I've definitely felt terrible at work, drank water, and it saved my whole shift!
6. keeps those kidneys healthy! 

So drink up that water!!! And yes, I drank all that water and I've had to interrupt this post multiple times to pee!
