Hubby seems to do better with a glass than his water bottle. I think it's because he can see what's left in it. I keep pushing drinking it and I've noticed that when he drinks more that it helps keep his blood pressure down. 🙂

@contentandwell there is a connection! I did some research and hydration makes it easier for your heart to move the blood. Water makes such a huge difference in how our bodies work.
@jodeej I am drinking 80 - 100 ounces of water a day because the immunosuppressants were causing my creatinine to be high, so most days I do drink a lot. If we are traveling or I am running around doing errands, etc. I sometimes do not fulfill that. When possible I make up the difference in the evening but that wreaks havoc with my sleep. Good to know that it does help with BP too, another incentive to drink up.

@jodeej I wonder if there is a connection between BP and hydration. That's interesting. I will have to make sure I really drink before any doctor appointments! My BP is sort of borderline -- high 120s over 60+. I really do not want to have to add another medication to my arsenal.
