1. Drinking more water everyday will keep your skin looking smooth and supple.
Applying expensive creams and lotions to your face is not an effective way to conceal
the effects aging has on your skin. The real fountain of youth can be found in a glass of
water.
2. Drinking more water everyday will help you cut calories. Most popular beverages are
loaded with calories. A can of soda can have as many as 240 calories per serving.
Drinking 1 or 2 of these each day is a recipe for gaining weight. Choosing to drink water
instead is the calorie free way to quench your thirst.
3. Drinking more water everyday will help you distinguish thirst from hunger. If you
allow your body to become dehydrated it will be difficult to discern whether that
gnawing feeling in your stomach is a call for food or a call for water. And if you keep
eating food when what your body really needs is water, you will gain weight.
4. Drinking more water everyday will help your think more clearly. Research has
repeatedly shown that staying hydrated is necessary for the human brain, which is 85
percent water, to function at optimal levels. That is why many school systems
throughout the country now encourage students to keep a bottle of water at their desks
and to drink it throughout the day.
5. Drinking more water everyday will help you feel better. Your body is about 75
percent water and 25 percent solid material. Doesn’t it make sense that you would need
to drink water on a daily basis to ensure that your body has all the water it needs to
perform at optimal levels. It is a mistake to believe that thirst is the only indicator of a
need to drink water. Constipation, achy joints and fatigue are also signals that your body
may be dehydrated.
