The Wonders of Water

Since I am attempting to drink more water, I thought I would do some research on the advantages to help me achieve this goal.

1) Stay slimmer with water.
Water revs of your metabolism AND helps you stay full. Seeing as how we are mostly water, it seems reasonable that it would help us metabolically. The being full thing...we will see ;)

2) Water Boosts your energy.
I often think that the reason I feel so crappy and tired is because I'm dehydrated. I get headaches and feel sluggish all the time. Especially if I am exerted or its hot. So duh...this will obviously help!

3) Lower Stress with water.
This is new to me...I would love this of course, who wouldn't? But apparently because our brains are 70-80% water if we stay hydrated we will be less stressed.

4) Build Muscle Tone with water.
Again I could use this and it makes sense. Drinking water helps prevent muscle cramping and lubricates joints in the body.

5) Nourish 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. I in particular could use the clearing effects. I have a little bit of adult acne that could use all the help it can get.

6) Stay regular with water. 

Along with fiber, water is important for good digestion. This also makes sense and I could see how this would help a lot of other functions as well. Just feeling over all better.

7) Water Reduces Kidney Stones.

Ummm...Yes please. No one wants that!
