7 Reasons To Drink More Water

Do you suffer from confusion, memory loss, dizziness, dry and wrinkled skin, brittle hair and nails, cold fingers and toes, constipation, eczema, headaches, urinary tract infections, and muscle pains? These are all signs of dehydration.

Your body is made up of around 70% water. Your body “robs” water from non-essential uses when you don’t have enough.

Here are 7 very good reasons to boost your water intake:

1. You’ll Digest Your Food Better - If you’re spending a bit too much time and effort on the toilet, you could probably use a glass (or two!) of pure water.

2. You’ll Stay Sharp - If you prefer being upbeat and focused, you need to drink water. If you’re feeling confused and forgetful, try drinking more water. Dehydration can trigger brain fog.

3. You’ll Love What You See In The Mirror -If you struggle with a puffy face and sunken eyes with dark circles, you’re being warned that your kidneys may be in distress. You are not drinking enough water.

4. You’ll Have Youthful Skin - Dry and wrinkled skin occurs because of water retention and a lack of subcutaneous fat. If you want to boost your natural fillers and look more youthful, drink more water.

5. You’ll Lower Your Body Fat - Being dehydrated can make you gain weight! The body will use all other fluids available when it’s dehydrated. By pulling water out of the bloodstream, excess glucose will remain until it reaches the liver, where it’s supposed to be stored as glycogen for later use.

6. You’ll Curb Your Appetite - Pure water acts as an appetite suppressant. When feeling hungry,drink a big glass of water before you act upon that sensation. If you need some taste, you can add a bit of lemon juice, lime juice or pomegranate juice.

7. You’ll Help Your Body Do Its Job - Our blood is 90% water. The bloodstream provides your cells and organs with oxygen and nutrients and takes away any waste products. The body will tap the water from cells and blood if needed to help counter dehydration. The blood will become thicker, increasing the risk for clotting and making it harder to pump it through the system. This can have a serious impact on blood pressure and heart disease.

How Much Water Do You Need? - In general, you need about 2 Liters of pure water a day. You might need more if you live in a warm or dry climate or exercise often. You will also need more water if you are pregnant, or breastfeeding. Plus, take into account the diuretic effects of coffee, tea, alcohol, and sodas, as well as salty foods.
Do you think that you are drinking enough water?
