We are half way through Hydration Week and wanted

We are half way through Hydration Week and wanted to make sure everyone is still drinking a minimum of 8 glasses of water a day.In partnership with The Sickle Cell Disease Association of Canada - Scdac/aafc Hydration Week is aimed at raising awareness on the importance for those living with Sickle Cell Disease to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. 10 to 12 glasses daily would be ideal.Water flushes the system, improves circulation and of course reduces jaundice (yellow eyes) in those living with SCD.Show your support by showing us how you hydrate by using the hashtag #warriorshydrate#scao #scdac #sicklecell #sicklecellanemia #sicklecelldisease #sicklecellmatters #sicklecellwarrior #wscd2021 #hydrationweek #hydrate #water #alkaline #healthyliving #waterislife #coconutwater #alkalinewater #hydr8 #stayhydrated #stayhealthy
