Drink More Water
Among its many benefits, water keeps your joints and organs cushioned and lubricated, controls your body temperature and rids your body of waste products through urination. Keeping a water bottle with you throughout the day can help you increase your water intake. The Institute of Medicine recommends that men drink a total of 125 ounces of water a day, and women drink 91 ounces a day. An easy way to monitor your hydration level is through the color of your urine. Urine will be light-colored, similar to lemonade, when you are adequately hydrated and dark yellow, similar to apple juice, if you are inadequately hydrated. Take extra care to drink more water if you are in hot weather, participate in strenuous physical activity, have a fever or have been experiencing nausea and vomiting.

Adequate sleep helps your body fight off infection, have more energy to be active and perform better at work and school. According to data published by Healthypeople.gov, only 70 percent of Americans reported getting eight or more hours of sleep each night. Although you have likely heard that everyone needs eight hours or more of sleep each night, the actual needs vary depending on age, lifestyle and health. Newborns and infants require the most sleep, between 12 and 18 hours daily. The number of hours you need continues to decrease incrementally as you age, reaching only seven to nine hours required nightly by the average adult.
