The human body needs water. We are , in fact, 60% water, so we require replenishment on a daily basis! And first thing in the morning, when you haven’t had any water for at least eight hours, it’s important to start rehydrating as effectively as possible. So, before you go for that cup of joe, go for a glass of water.
In general, you should be drinking eight 8-ounce glasses of water each day. Morning is the perfect time to start that process. One trick is to fill a water bottle each night (bonus points for ice!) and leave it by your bed. That way, when you wake up thirsty at night, you don’t have to go anywhere — and your first few glasses of the day are right there as well. You may be tempted to reach for other beverages throughout the day to keep hydration up. But the reality is that most of your water intake should just be water. If you really need some extra kick to stay hydrated, you can try club soda or sparkling water, which can be purchased cheaply at any grocery store. It’s also important to remember not all water is created equally. Packaged water is an option for people who don’t have access to good drinking water at home, as are in-fridge filters, on-sink filters, or jug filters. You want the water to taste as good as possible to increase your odds of drinking enough. So, what are you waiting for? Fill a glass today and change tomorrow for the better
You might even end up skipping the coffee. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, dehydration may be a part of why we feel groggy and disoriented in the morning in the first place. Mild dehydration has been linked to lower brain function in general, with a wide range of effects on our cognition and performance.
Can all that really happen overnight? Yes and no. By itself, an eight-hour period isn’t usually enough to cause mild dehydration. But coupled with the fact that most Americans aren’t drinking enough water to begin with, odds are good that when you go to bed, you haven’t had your daily intake.

THE SURPRIS
about those trying to get your personal information, or trying to get at your money and other investments tied to technology. That theft is happening daily to folks who have their investments online. All of that is still the case, and it’s even worse today, but you can bet that investing in and owning your own apartment community will ALSO keep you well insulated from dot-com business competition. Your money is safe no matter how many billions venture capitalists want to spend online. You will never be “Amazoned.” Hundreds of business categories are in danger of being impacted negatively by the internet, but apartment communities ARE not and WILL NOT be one of them. The internet can eliminate hundreds of traditional business categories, but it cannot eliminate a person’s need for a home . The demand for apartments will always exist, no matter how many new dot-com businesses, apps, websites, and IPOs are created.
I bet not a month goes by that you don’t hear about or see a business closing its doors as a result of competition from the internet — or, as I call it, dot-com competition. Billions of dollars of venture capital are pouring into the market, and those investors have no real goal of making a profit, so many businesses are under constant pressure from dot-coms. A good example of a dot-com is Uber. Uber loses billions and has never made any kind of a profit, but it still sent local cab companies scrambling to compete when it stole their business and revenue. There are, of course, other examples. But one place where all of this dot-com madness has ZERO IMPACT is apartment community investing and ownership. Over the last year or so, I’ve told you that one of the reasons to OWN your own apartment community, either actively or passively, is for protection from the bad guys. I was mainly talking
Here at Heartland, our active and passive investors are fully aware of this, and it has been our “secret” for years now. Many people aren’t aware of it or refuse to acknowledge the power of apartment communities.
And that is fine by us.
