Five Reasons Why You Should Drink
More Water Everyday
by: Jackie Stanley
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. Doesnt
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.
