Literally, I cried.
Water has always been my drink of choice.
It just makes me feel good.
Water is so beneficial, so easy, so free yet so easily overlooked.
Its really a no brainer (actually your brain is at least 80% water!).
Therefore, you need water to function properly.
I personally dont getheadachesand dont own over-the-counter NSAIDS or analgesic medications.
I believe its because I drink enough water.
Ive often been complimented on my clear, youthful skin.
Again, I thank my hydration.
That’s just me.
Of course, other factors can contribute to headaches and skin problems.
How much is enough?
Always listen to what your body needs.
but the National Academy of Medicine recommends science-baseddaily total water intakeamounts.
you’re able to even be so bold as to add a few berries or watermelon.
What ever gets you to drink it up.
Speaking of benefits,the reasons to hydrate are numerous, but Ive narrowed down the top 10.
Cheers to your good health!
Top 10 Benefits of Drinking Water: Hydration for Health
1.
Body Water Balance
Homeostasis of water content in the body is dependent onwater gains and losses1.
Normal daily water losses occur through breathing, sweating, and urination.
These losses are also a natural detox method to flush out toxins.
And 2020 research indicates that less-than-optimal hydration may even be arisk factor for COVID-193severity and death.
Weight Loss
H20 = zero calories.
So, theres that.
Water intake has also been shown to increaseenergy expenditure5and fat oxidation, especially in situations of obesity.
This is one reason why drinking water is an important element of fitness challenges like the75 Soft Challenge.
Digestive Regularity
There’s a reason it’s called a bowel movement, because the bowels should be moving.
For some people, that’s not always the case.
Inadequate water intake is associated with greaterconstipation9, so hydration might be an easy answer to digestive woes.
Help With Headaches
Not getting enough fluids is thought to contribute to headache etiology.
If thats not motivation to drink up, I dont know what is.
Bottom Line, Drink Up!
We are literally made up of water.
Being mindful and intentional about hydration is one of the easiest strategies to improve your health and well-being.
Oh, and I almost forgot: Water is free.
Even if you choose bottled/filtered water, its still cheaper than that high sugar and fat-filled latte!
