11 Reasons to Drink Water

11 reasons why you should be drinking more water, whether it’s Bottled Water or straight from the tap.

1. Lose weight: Drinking water helps you lose weight because it flushes down the by-products of fat breakdown. Drinking water reduces hunger; it’s an effective appetite suppressant so you’ll eat less. Plus, gotta love that water has zero calories.

2. It’s a Natural Remedy for Headache: Helps to relieve headache and back pain due to dehydration.

3. Look Younger with Healthier Skin: Drinking water does all sorts of wonders for your skin. It helps to replenish skin tissues, moisturizes and increases skin elasticity.

4. Be More Productive at Work: Your brain is mostly made up of water, thus drinking water helps you think better and be more alert.

5. Strengthen Your Workout: Drinking water regulates your body temperature. You’ll feel more energetic when doing exercises and water helps to fuel your muscle.

6. Support Your Digestion: Drinking water raises your metabolism because it helps in digestion. Fiber and water go hand in hand to help you have your daily bowel movement.

7. Get Fewer Cramps and Sprains: Proper hydration helps keep your joints and muscles lubricated, so you’re less likely get cramps and sprains.

8. Be Less Likely to Get Sick: Drinking plenty of water helps fight against flu and other ailments like kidney stones and heart attack. Drinking water can improve your immune system.

9. Relieve Fatigue: Water is used by the body to help flush toxins and waste products from the body. If your body lacks water, your heart has to work harder to pump out the oxygenated blood to all cells and so will the rest of the vital organs. Your organs will be exhausted and so will you.

10. Reduce the Risk of Cancer: Related to the digestive system, some studies show that drinking a healthy amount of water may reduce the risks of bladder cancer and colon cancer. Water dilutes the concentration of cancer-causing agents in the urine and shortens the time in which they are in contact with bladder lining.

11. Boost your mood and feel happier! Plain and simple, water makes your body feel good, bringing on a brighter attitude.
