After six years of marriage, Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore officially announced their separation in 2013.

However, instead of crying into a bowl of Ben & Jerrys or watching The Notebook on repeat, the Dude Where's My Car star has revealed he actually went and had his very own Wild moment in the wilderness.

'Right after I got divorced, I went to the mountains for a week by myself,' the actor told fellow star Dax Shepard for an interview on his new podcast, Armchair Expert.

Describing his lonely days post-divorce, the 40-year-old continued: 'I did no food, no drink—just water and tea.

'I took all my computers away, my phone, my everything. I was there by myself, so there was no talking. I just had a notepad, a pen and water and tea—for a week.'

However, the actor - who is now married to actress Mila Kunis with two children - said he started to hallucinate two days into his 'me time'……

Why it's important to stay hydrated, even during winter

USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin Published 10:03 a.m. CT Feb. 21, 2018

Are you drinking enough water? I know it’s cold outside and you probably feel like drinking something hot, but you should not shy away from drinking the required amount of water per day during the winter months. Winter is the time when your body is easily thrown off balance, and it is when you are most susceptible to viruses and bacteria. That is why drinking your daily dose of water can be extremely beneficial. Your body’s basic functioning does not change in winter; therefore changing your water drinking habits is not advisable.

How much water do you need to drink per day? Water needs depend on many factors including your health, activity level and climate. Water is your body’s main chemical component and accounts for 60 percent of your total body weight. Every system in your body depends on water, and every day you lose water through your breath, perspiration, urine and bowel movements.

For your body to function properly, the water lost must be replaced by consumption of food and beverages that contain water. The Institute of Medicine has determined that an adequate intake for men is roughly 3 liters (13 cups) per day. The adequate intake for women is 2.2 liters (9 cups) per day. If you exercise or perform an activity that makes you sweat, you need to drink extra water to compensate for the fluid loss. An extra 1.5 to 2.5 cups of water is OK for short bursts of exercise, but intense exercise for more than one hour requires more. How much more depends on how much you sweat during exercise, how long you are performing the exercise and the type of exercise.

Continuing to replace fluids when you’re finished exercising is very important, as well. Hot or humid weather can make you sweat and require you to drink more water. During the winter time, heated indoor air also can cause your skin to lose moisture, requiring you to increase your water intake. When you have a fever, vomiting or diarrhea your body loses fluids, so increasing fluids during this time is very important.

There’s an ayurvedic way to drink water (and you probably aren't doing it)

Feb 21st 2018 11:13AM

https://

www.aol.com/article/lifestyle/2018/02/21/theres-an-ayurvedic-way-to-drink-water-and-you-probably-arent-doing-it/23367527/

Hey, you. We need to talk about that half-empty S'well bottle sitting on your coffee table.

Sure, you know you’re supposed to drink eight glasses a day to stay fully hydrated (but realistically, you probably drink more like four—us, too). And because you’re so busy and totally forget, you usually go for long stretches without drinking, followed by huge gulps like you’ve just gone on a ten-mile hike through the desert. But hey, at least you’re drinking something, right?

Not according to ayurvedic medicine (pronounced ay-er-vey-dic), the ancient Indian practice of healing the body through food and herbs. Our pals to the east think it’s not only about how much water you drink, but how you drink it—and they have an excellent point.

You’ve heard that practicing mindful eating, or allowing your body to slow down and really focus on the process of chewing and enjoying your food, can help reduce stress levels and improve digestion. And ayurvedic experts, like our friends at Vasanti Health, believe sipping water slowly and deliberately throughout the day is much more beneficial to your body than sudden gulping.

Why? In ayurvedic medicine, the aim is to always keep your body in as relaxed a state as possible to reduce stress and keep your organs running efficiently. So instead of shocking your system with a sudden gush of ice water, try more frequent, gentle sips of room temperature or warm water.

BRB, filling up our water bottles…slowwwly.

A New Start for New Jersey on Water Pollution & Flooding

Last month’s inauguration of a new governor

presents a great opportunity to start cleaning

up New Jersey’s waterways.

After eight years of the Christie administration

slashing environmental protections, pollution

and urban flooding are on the rise. The Murphy

administration has its work cut out for it when

it comes to tackling the problem of stormwater

runoff.

But the path forward is clear. The environmental

advocacy community has offered two key

recommendations for the newly appointed

commissioner of the state’s Department of

Environmental Protection, Catherine McCabe. A coalition of eight organizations sent the

following letter to Ms. McCabe this morning asking DEP to take action.

Could California drought restrictions slash water rights? Some think so

AP February 21, 2018, 12:02 PM

https:// www.cbsnews.com/news/could-california-drought-restrictions-slash-water-rights-some-think-so/

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – A proposal to make California's drought-era water restrictions permanent could allow the state to chip away at long-held water rights in an unprecedented power grab, representatives from water districts and other users told regulators Tuesday. Members of the state Water Resources Control Board delayed a decision about whether to bring back what had been temporary water bans from California's drought, spanning 2013 to 2017. The plan is part of an effort to make water conservation a way of life, with climate change expected to lead to longer, more severe droughts.

It comes after U.S. officials declared that nearly half the state, all of it in the south, is back in drought just months after emerging from it.

California drought returns; water use climbs in enclaves

Officials from several irrigation and water agencies said the restrictions are reasonable, but not the plan to impose them under the state Constitution's prohibition on the "waste or unreasonable use" of water. That would create a slippery slope of allowing the board to repeatedly chip away at California's historic protection of water rights for landowners, they said.

"Erratic individuals can occupy great positions of power in government, and you had better believe they will occupy your chair someday," said Jackson Minasian, an attorney for Stanford Vina Ranch Irrigation Co. "Their view of what is 'waste and unreasonable use' will be radically different than yours."….

'''San Diego Water Payments Fund a Slaughterhouse and Lots of Other Stuff in Imperial County

As part of a massive deal, San Diego buys water from Imperial County and has paid the much-smaller county's farmers not to plant their fields.'''

But San Diego also sent money east to make up for economic development that the county misses out on thanks to the lack of farming.

By paying their water bills, San Diego residents have sent $2.5 million to help reopen a slaughterhouse in Imperial County.

These payments are part of a massive water deal between the San Diego County Water Authority and the Imperial Irrigation District. The Water Authority buys water and resells it to local water agencies, like the city of San Diego’s water department.

For 15 years, San Diego County has been buying water from Imperial County, the largest holder of rights to water in the Colorado River. Imperial – a county of 180,000 people – is entitled to as much of the river as the states of Arizona and Nevada combined.

In the mid-1990s, San Diego, with growing cities and no water rights to speak of, started negotiations to get some of that water.

At first, officials promised the deal would never involve fallowing. That’s when farm land is idled and left barren to free up water that would have otherwise grown food. For farmers, fallowing is the “f word,” said Tina Shields, the Imperial Irrigation District’s water manager.
