It quenches our thirst! Water is not to be taken for granted because it is one of the most important means for our survival and we know that if we don’t get enough, we are likened to be dehydrated. It is always reiterated that water or being hydrated is important if we want to be healthy inside and out, and we want to lose some weight. Aside from satisfying our thirst, water helps our body to digest and process the food we take, can reduce the risk of getting diseases.

How much water do we need? Average of eight – twelve glasses each day is enough. But it all depends on our individual needs. Especially if we are the energetic type who often exercises and are active with physical activities, we are to refill our body with more water that we are loosing while doing physical activities.

While drinking sodas and other drinks and beverages is not at all bad, they are not to be considered as substitutes to the water our body required. These drinks contain sugar and other artificial flavorings are unhealthy and they often cause diseases. Avoid drinking too much sports drink; some would think that they are good especially for children because of different flavors available. These drinks, contains potassium and if taken too much, could lead to irregular heartbeat. We often think that drinking coffee could make us stay awake, why not replenish our body with clean water and do some physical activities. Sure this will keep us awake and make us healthy.

Are we getting clean water? Especially if we are using this for our beauty regimen, filtered or clean water is to be used. We have to make sure that bacteria are removed to get a better result of pure skin.

Make it a point to drink water even before we are thirsty! Put a pitcher on our working table and refill our body with this healthy and very affordable liquid that is most essential for a healthier us! Cheers!
