Health benefits of drinking water

Water helps to stay slim

 Water revs up metabolism and helps you feel full.

Replace calorie-laden beverages with water, and drink a glass before meals to help you feel fuller.

Drinking more water  helps build up metabolism - especially if your glass is icy cold. Your body must work to warm the water up, burning a few extra calories in the process.

 Water Boosts Your Energy

If you’re feeling drained and depleted, drinking water replenishes one. Dehydration makes you feel fatigued.

Water helps the blood transport oxygen and other essential nutrients to your cells.

Getting enough water, the heart also doesn’t have to work as hard to pump blood throughout the body.

Lower Stress With Water

85% of your brain tissue is water. If you’re dehydrated, both your body and your mind will be stressed.

If you’re feeling thirsty, you’re already a little dehydrated.

To keep stress levels down, keep a glass of water at your desk or tote a sports bottle and sip regularly.

 Build Muscle Tone With Water

Drinking water helps prevent muscle cramping and lubricates joints in the body.

Water nourishes the skin

Fine lines and wrinkles are deeper when you’re dehydrated. Water is nature’s own beauty cream.

Drinking water hydrates skin cells and plumps them up, making your face look younger.

It also flushes out impurities and improves circulation and blood flow, leaving your face clean, clear, and glowing.


Drink enough Water daily to help digestion

Along with fiber, water is essential to good digestion.

Water helps dissolve waste particles and passes them smoothly through your digestive tract.

If you’re dehydrated, your body absorbs all the water, leaving your colon dry and making it more difficult to pass waste.

 Water Reduces Kidney Stones

Water dilutes the salts and minerals in your urine that form the solid crystals known as kidney stones.

Kidney stones can't form in diluted urine, so reduce your risk with plenty of water.

Generally, nutritionists recommend we follow the "8x8 rule."

Drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day.

You may need more water if you exercise or sweat heavily.

You may need less water if you drink other beverages often.
