Are You Drinking Enough
Water? Most healthy adults get
enough to drink by letting their thirst guide them. But the exact amount you
need depends on your size, level of activity, the weather, and your general
health. You may need more water if you exercise, play games or sweat heavily.
(1) Water Reduces Kidney Stones
The rate of painful kidney stones is rising. One of the
reasons could be because people -- including children -- aren't drinking enough
water. 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!

(2) Water Helps You to Stay Slim
Trying to lose weight? Water revs up metabolism and helps you feel full.
Replace calorie-filled beverages with water, and drink a glass before meals to
help you feel fuller. Drinking more water helps amp 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.
(3) Water Helps to Boosts Your Energy
If you're feeling drained and depleted, get a pick-me-up with water.
Dehydration makes you feel tired. The right amount of water will help your
heart pump your blood more effectively and water can help your blood transport
oxygen and other essential nutrients to your cells.
(4) Water Helps To Lower
Mental Stress
About 70% to 80% of your brain tissue is water. If you're dehydrated,
your body and your mind are 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 carry a sports bottle and sip regularly.
(5) Build Muscle Tone with Water
Drinking water helps prevent muscle cramping and lubricates joints in
the body. When you're well hydrated, you can exercise longer and stronger
without "hitting the wall."
(6) Water Hydrates Your 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, helping your skin glow.
(7) 2 – 3 liters of Daily Water
Intake Makes you Healthy
Along with fiber, water is important for 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.
