90 Days to a Healthier, Happier, Hotter YOU - Day Four: Hydration



Drinking plenty of water is one of the most important things you can do for your health. Water helps you control body temperature, deliver nutrients, and make sure your organs are functioning as they should. Hydration also improves your sleep quality, cognition, and mood. So its easy to say if you want to feel better than you have to start drinking enough water each day for your body. Many experts recommend drinking 11 cups a day if you are a woman and 16 for men. All of your water doesn't have to be just plain water but can come from flavored water, juices, milk, tea or coffee.

It is best to limit the number of caffeinated drinks you have since this can cause you to urinate more often and can add extra calories to your diet. Sports drinks can help you when exercising at a higher level for more than an hour and contain carbohydrates and electrolytes to increase energy and absorb water.

Tips for staying hydrated:

  • Carry a reusable bottle of water with you throughout the day.
  • Add fruit to plain water if you don't like the taste.
  • Before, during, and after a workout drink plenty of water.
  • When you’re feeling hungry, keep full by drinking water.
  • Plan a scedule for drinking water.
  • When out at restaurants, drink water, its healthy and free!

Signs of dehydration:

  • Little or no urine.
  • Darker colored urine
  • Dry mouth.
  • Sleepiness or fatigue.
  • Extreme thirst.
  • Headache.
  • Confusion.
  • Dizziness or lightheadedness.

Buffet Bliss or Southern Swing-and-a-Miss? A Bite at Kacey’s in Huntsville

  Walk through the doors of Kacey’s Country Cooking in Huntsville and you’re greeted by the comforting smell of fried chicken, collard greens, and cornbread that could double as perfume for any true Southerner. This is where the buffet line reigns supreme, the sweet tea flows endlessly, and dessert is always just an arm’s reach away. For many locals, Kacey’s is a comfort food paradise. Fans brag about the fried green tomatoes, juicy pork chops, slow-cooked beef tips, and banana pudding that deserves its own holiday. The staff are another highlight—quick with refills, friendly enough to feel like family, and the kind of people who can make a buffet feel like Sunday dinner at grandma’s. But Kacey’s has its critics too. Some diners rave about “the best bang for your buck in town,” while others complain that the food sometimes veers into “straight-from-the-can” territory.
