Bottoms Up! How to Drink More Water Every Day

Did you know that there's a miracle drink that helps to improve your skin tone, promote weight loss, and even prevent headaches? It’s true—and it’s water! Drinking enough water is very important, and not just to keep dehydration at bay. Here are a few simple ways to drink more water every day.

  1. Invest in a refillable water bottle that you’ll actually want to use. There are a number of different kinds on the market today, and some even contain cages in the middle that you can fill with fresh fruit to make your own all-natural flavored water.
  2. Replace your coffee with an herbal tea. Because teas like chamomile and mint don’t contain caffeine, they won’t detract from your water intake in the way that coffee does.
  3. Replace soda with sparkling water. You’ll still get the same refreshing, bubbly taste without all of the added sugar and calories.
  4. Eat more fruit or drink fresh fruit smoothies. Because fruit is filled with water, you’ll get a double dose of healthy each time you eat it.
  5. Make your own infused ice cubes by filtering fresh herbs and fruit through some water using a strainer or French press, then freeze in your usual ice cube tray. Pop them into your glass of water for an extra kick of flavor.

The Benefits of Water!

Water is essential to a healthy life, and impacts countless areas of overall wellness. Below is a list of some of the amazing benefits of drinking enough H2O.

  1. Drinking water helps you lose weight because it flushes out the by-products of digestion. Also, drinking enough water reduces hunger, and it can act as an appetite suppressant, so you’ll eat less.
  2. Enjoying a glass of water can relieve headaches and back pain due to dehydration. Although many different factors can cause headaches, dehydration is a very common cause.
  3. When your skin is hydrated, it looks younger. Water helps to replenish skin tissues, moisturizes skin, and also increases skin elasticity.
  4. Drinking H2O raises your metabolic level, and aids digestion. Also, keeping hydrated helps to prevent constipation.
  5. Drinking plenty of water helps ward off the flu and other ailments like kidney stones and heart attack. Water with lemon can soothe ailments like respiratory disease, intestinal problems, rheumatism, and arthritis.
  6. Water is refreshing and is used by the body to help flush out toxins and waste products from the body. Because of this, hydration is a great way to fight fatigue.
  7. Some studies show that drinking a healthy amount of water may reduce the risks of both bladder cancer and colon cancer. H2O dilutes the concentration of cancer-causing agents in the urine and decreases the amount of time in which they are in contact with bladder lining, which can help to decrease your risk.
