drinking water

Want beautiful healthy skin? Need help losing weight? Then it is important that you drink a significant amount of water daily to keep your skin hydrated. Our body weight is made up of 60% water so we need it for proper functioning of our body too. I know it can be difficult to stay away from juices, sodas, and other beverages so here are 6 reasons why you should incorporate water into your diet.

1. It keeps your skin looking great. Well this is an obvious one, yet we still tend to consume massive amounts of beverages daily. Truth is, if your skin looks tired, so do you. By keeping your skin well-hydrated, your skin can do its part and remove toxins that builds up inside the body. Toxins can come from the environment and from you as well, so it should be removed constantly.
2. Healthy Heart- Drinking a good amount of water can actually decrease your chances of heart problems such as a heart attack. Water thins out the blood in your body which makes it easier pump blood through the heart. Your heart will do less work and last longer.
3. Water gives you energy- Being dehydrated is no fun and with the summer heat still blazing, you are more likely to suffer from dehydration if you’re not consuming enough or any water. Dehydration takes away all your energy and makes you feel tired. It can also lead to fatigue, dizziness, and weak muscles.
4. Decrease risk in some cancers- Our digestive system needs a significant amount of water so drinking more of it can help cure problems with the digestive system that leads to some cancers. Drinking more water daily has been known to reduce the risk of colon cancer by up to 45%. It can also reduce the risk of bladder cancer by 50% and reduce the risk of breast cancer.
5. Water help to lose weight- Water is the best choice for losing weight and should replace high calorie drinks which contains a lot of sugar and carbs. Drinking water makes you feel less hungry by acting as a stomach suppressant which helps improve fat loss. It’s imperative that you drink water before and after exercising to keep yourself hydrated throughout your workouts. Dehydration can slow down your workouts so make sure to take a bottle of water when heading to the gym.
6. It’s CHEAPER!- Why spend a $1 on a 16oz or 20oz soda when you can buy a gallon of water. You can get more with your money and it’s healthier. It’s also been said that tap water is just as clean and safe as bottled water so go buy a filter for your kitchen sink and drink free water from home.

So how much water should you drink a day? Well that question has been debatable for sometime now. “Drink 8 glasses of water a day” is a lot of water to take a day if you factor in a person’s body weight, if you exercise a lot, or if you’re sick (just to name a few). Your best bet is to come up with a routine. Drink water between and during meals, before and after you exercise, and when you wake up.

Does water help to lose weight? YES!

Can I have clearer skin? Absolutely!

So if possible, drink less beverages and more water to maintain your health and beauty.
