7 Reasons to Drink More Water
If you're like most North Americans, you don't drink enough water. What does this mean for your physical and emotional health? How exactly does drinking more water impact your wellbeing? Let us count the ways.
1. Better Digestion
Consuming enough water results in your body digesting food better. Signs that you need more water include feeling constipated and bloated, as well as spending an excess amount of time on the toilet without much result.
2. Increased Mental Focus
Drinking plenty of water can help you to remain focused and help you to feel more upbeat. If you find that you are forgetting things or feel a bit confused, a simple solution might be that you need to drink more water.
3. You'll Like Your Reflection in the Mirror
If you're drinking enough water, your face will look healthy and vibrant. If you aren't, a face that is puffy with big, dark circles under your eyes is a sign that your kidneys aren't getting enough water to function at an optimum level.
4. Your Skin Will Have a Youthful Glow
Drinking enough water, more than two liters each day, can boost your natural fillers, resulting in beautiful, glowing skin that you'll want to show off. To increase these natural fillers, consume a large glass of cold water before eating, splash your face each morning with cold water a few times, and carefully pat your skin to dry it. Also, make sure to eat fat, such as plant oils that are pure and unprocessed, such as those found in organic flax seeds and coconut oil. The fat combined with the consumption of water works as a natural filler.
5. Decreased Body Fat
When your body is dehydrated, it can actually cause you to gain weight since your body will make use of any fluids it has available. When your body pulls water from your bloodstream, it results in excess glucose remaining in your body until it makes its way to your liver. The liver is where the glucose should be stored, as glycogen, for your body to use at a later time.
6. Decreased Appetite
Drinking water will reduce feelings of hunger, as well as cravings for both wheat and sugar. If you feel hungry, drink a glass of water, rather than eating, and then see if you still feel hungry. If water sounds a bit blah, add a small amount of lemon juice or a splash of sugar free juice to liven it up.
7. Your Body Will be More Efficient
Your blood is made up of 90% water and provides nutrients and oxygen to your body's organs and cells. It also works to remove waste from your body. Consuming more water can help your body to do this more efficiently.
With so many great reasons to drink more water, there's no excuse not to increase the amount of water you drink each day.
