How much water should someone drink in a day? Well, that depends who you listen to. The answer seems to change all the time. What isn't up for debate is the fact that water is essential for life.
The benefits include:
1. Helps in weight loss and speeds up metabolism.
2. Aids digestion and alleviates constipation.
3. Keeps muscles from cramping and joints lubricated.
4. Flushes out toxins and waste products.
5. Increases concentration and alertness, dehydration can lead to fuzzy thinking.
6. Healthier skin: helps replenish skin tissue, moisturizes skin and increases skin's elasticity.
Water makes up 60% of your body weight. So it only makes sense to ensure that I keep myself hydrated enough to allow my body to function at its best. I am going to be more conscious of the amount of water I consume daily and make sure that I am consistent.
Raise a glass to cool, clear water.
Update: So now that I'm drinking more water, I realize that I am also getting more exercise... by the increased number of trips to the washroom! An added benefit that I did not envision. And here's a small tip: I have been bringing water to work in a 1-litre container. That way, once it's empty, I know how much I have already drunk that day.
