The benefits of water…

Water is all around us, from the stuff we swim in to the beverage we drink. In fact, with our bodies consisting of around 60% of water, it basically is us. It’s no wonder we feel so much better when we drink enough of it – not to mention it is one of the main tools to aid with successful slimming.

We’ve rounded up the top 8 benefits to drinking lots of water – you won’t believe how good it is for you!

1. Water helps with weight loss. It’s a known fact that drinking water reduces your appetite. The feeling of thirst is commonly mistaken for hunger and results in putting on weight. It just so happens that when you’re dehydrated, fat cells become harder to break down and losing weight becomes very difficult.
2. Water clears your ski. Drinking water will provide dry skin with moisture and flush out toxins, clearing your skin of any bacteria or dirt that could go on to cause imperfections.
3. Water is a natural anti-wrinkle treatment. Dehydration makes your skin look more dry and wrinkled, which can be improved with proper hydration.
4. Water can put an end to headaches and dizziness. These can both be bought on by fatigue, which is a sign of dehydration and are thus improved by an increase in water consumption. Dehydration has also been identified as a migraine trigger.
5. Water can fight infections. When you’re dehydrated you’re more likely to catch a bug, as water has the ability to flush out any toxins that may be in your body. Water is also especially good for getting rid of and preventing urine infections and kidney stones.
6. Improves your concentration skills. As your brain is made of around 85% water, if you get dehydrated it can affect your concentration and even your short-term memory.
7. Supports your heart. Your heart needs plenty of water to maintain pumping blood around the body at an optimum rate. When you’re dehydrated, your blood thickens, meaning you heart has to work even harder.
8. Can improve your mood. Drinking water makes us feel so refreshed that it actually improves our state of mind. You don’t even have to be severely in need of it to benefit: Even mild dehydration has been shown to negatively impact moods.
