The Reasons WHY Everyone Is Telling You To Drink More Water!

 Have you ever gotten annoyed at people who keep telling you to drink more water? They can be so bossy, right?

Well... throw away your hate because it turns out they were right. They just didn't tell you WHY you should be doing it. Let's explore those reasons.

Before we go into the benefits of drinking water, let's look at some of the negatives of not getting enough.

Your body is made up of anywhere from 55% to 78% water... depending on factors such as your age, your gender, and the amount of fat that you have.

Water forms the fluids in your body such as your blood, it aids in your metabolic functions, and it carries nutrients into your body. So without it, you'll die.

The problem is, your body loses water doing normal things such as breathing, walking... and of course when you go pee pee. When this happens, you have to make sure that you replace it so that you don't get dehydrated. Dehydration is basically when the amount of water your body loses is more than the amount of water your body takes in. If dehydration gets extreme, you can die.

Here are the effects of dehydration at just a moderate level:

1. extreme tiredness
2. weak muscles
3. lack of concentration
4. slow metabolism
5. irritability
6. even aches and pains

Imagine if you were really dehydrated!

Drinking water is best for your body because sodas and juices are processed differently by your body. Nothing beats pure, clean water when it comes to hydrating your bod.

Now that we know the bad stuff, let's look at what "good" water can do for your body:

You'll look better! - Think about a plant that is continually watered and green and how it looks compared to a neglected one.

1. When your muscles are hydrated, they will look toner
2. Skin cells plump up to give you a good complexion
3. Supports healthy hair and nails
4. Prevents water retention
5. Metabolizes fat

You'll feel better!

1. Reduces constipation
2. Lessens asthma
3. Eases depression
4. Eases irritability
5. Regulates your body temperature
6. Reduces stress
7. Increases energy

You'll be healthier!

1. Helps digest food
2. Lowers blood pressure
3. Flushes toxins out of your body

There are so many benefits to drinking water. If you drink a lot of soda, by replacing it with water, you could see a significant loss of weight on that alone. A good rule of thumb is to not drink your calories.

See, they weren't being bossy... they just loved you. Now go give them a call and invite them over for some delicious water.
