Reasons to Drink More Water

  1. Weight loss
    Water is one of the best tools for weight loss, first of all because it often replaces high-calorie drinks like soda and juice and alcohol with a drink that doesn't have any calories. But it's also a great appetite suppressant, and often when we think we're hungry, we're actually just thirsty. Water has no fat, no calories, no carbs, no sugar. Drink plenty to help your weight-loss regimen.

  2. 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.

  3. Healthy skin
    Drinking water can clear up your skin and people often report a healthy glow after drinking water. It won't happen overnight, of course, but just a week of drinking a healthy amount of water can have good effects on your skin.

  4. 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 fiber can cure constipation (often a result of dehydration).

  5. Cleansing
    Water is used by the body to help flush out toxins and waste products from the body.
If you don't like the taste of water, add some flavor (Choose one)
1. Add a slice of Lemon
2. Peel a cucumber and add 3 slices to your glass
3. Add a slice of lime
4. Add a slice of pineapple
5. Add a couple mint leaves


Ways to Train yourself to Drink more Water
1. Set goals
2. Carry a water bottle
3. Challenge yourself to drink a little more each day
4. Start the day off with a full glass of water
5. Drink a glass of water before each meal
6. Drink a glass of water on your lunch break
7. Replace all drinks (sodas) during the day with water

  10. I use to drink sodas a lot and noticed a lot of health issues. Ever since I've switched to drinking more water than sodas with artificial sweetners, I have seen a huge improvement in my health. So, yes to water. And great idea on squeezing lemon, lime or mint leaves.
