The benefits of drinking water
& staying Hydrated.
Weight loss
Water I s one of the
best tools for weight
loss. Why? Because
it often replaces
high-calorie drinks like
soft-drink and alcohol with a
drink that has no fat, no
calories, no carbs, no sugar.
It is also a great appetite
suppressant, and often
when we think we're
hungry' , we're actually
just thirsty. So if you
are wanting to lose
weight - increase
your water.
Energy
Being dehydrated can sap your
energy and make you feel tired
even mild dehydration of as
little as 1 or 2 percent of your
body weight. If you're thirsty,
you're already dehydrated and this
can lead to fatigue, muscle weakness,
dizziness and other symptoms.

Headache cure
Another symptom of dehydration
is headaches. In fact, often when
we have headaches it's simply a
matter of not drinking enough
water. There are lots of other
causes of headaches of course, but
dehydration is a common one.
Healthy skin
Drinking water can clear up
your skin and help you look
more fresh and glowing.
Commit to drinking a healthy
amount of water over a week and
see the effects on your skin.
Digestive problems
Our digestive systems need a
good amount of water to digest
food properly. Often water can
help cure stomach acid
problems, and water along with
fibre can cure constipation again,
often a result of dehydration.
Cleansing & kidney
health
Water is used by the body to help
flush out toxins and waste
products from the body. The more
water you drink the better your
kidneys will function.
Better exercise
We all know it is essential to drink
water when exercising, but did
you know being dehydrated can
severely hamper your workouts?
Slowing you down and making your
workouts harder. So the best time to
drink water is actually two hours before
you plan to exercise, and of course
during and after.
