We are What We Eat: Water, Water, Water

Dear Hydrophiles:

It is often said that the human body is 75% water, just like the surface of the Earth. Well for some reason, the skin of the Eczema patient is like the dessert. Chances are, the other organs of the body are getting enough fluid, but for some reason, any reason, the skin isn't retaining any. 

For this reason alone, it is crucial that those with extremely dry skin drink more water than the average joe. I am guilty of the crime of not drinking any water. If a person with healthy skin should be drinking half of their body weight in ounces of water (approximately 8 glasses) each day, a person with eczema should be drinking 10-16 glasses each day. 

If you work at a job sitting in front of a computer all day, simply purchase a polycarbonate water jug, and chug your water all day long.

Maybe I should take this advice myself.

Love,

Lhea J.
