“A healthy water challenge everyone can do!”

We’re all about promoting healthy habits for mind, body, and TEETH! And there are some relatively easy ways we can all do better for ourselves like eating more fruits and vegetables, brushing and flossing twice a day, going for a 30 minute walk three times a week, etc. But as simple as those things sound, it’s actually harder to commit than it seems.

So what’s one thing that we already do everyday and doing more of can make us healthier? DRINKING WATER!

Benefits of Drinking Water

Water is a great alternative to teeth-staining coffees and teas, sugary/acidic sodas and juices and keeps us hydrated. When our bodies are well hydrated we can perform much better as our body has the resources it needs to restore and repair itself. According to Harvard Health, drinking water helps our bodies by:

• carrying nutrients and oxygen to your cells
• flushing bacteria from your bladder
• aiding digestion
• preventing constipation
• normalizing blood pressure
• stabilizing the heartbeat
• cushioning joints
• protecting organs and tissues
• regulating body temperature
• maintaining electrolyte (sodium) balance

We’re making drinking water fun by challenging you, your family, friends, co-workers, anyone who can drink water – to participate in our ADC Water Challenge. It’s so easy! Read more to learn how you can Drink Water and Win.
