In case you haven't noticed, it's officially Summer, the season of sun, sand and water and though many never seem to be able to get enough of the dynamic trio, they often forget that summer is not only the season for you to play in the water, but it is the season when it is more important than ever to DRINK plenty of H2O. Here are ten great reasons you need to drink up this Summer.
DRINK UP!!
1. Water is FREE! Even if you choose bottled/filtered water, it’s STILL cheaper than that high sugar and fat-filled latte!
2. Promotes Weight Loss – Removes by-products of fat, reduces eating intake (by filling up your tummy if consumed prior to meals), reduces hunger (hello natural appetite suppressant!), raises your metabolism, and has zero calories! So for all who are on a trim slim movement, here is the first thing you should add to your routine.
3. Flushes Out Toxins – Gets rid of waste through sweat and urination, which reduces the risk of kidney stones and UTI’s (urinary tract infections). Need we say any more ladies and gents?
4. Increases Energy & Relieves Fatigue – Since your brain is mostly water, drinking it helps you think, focus and concentrate better, and be more alert. As an added bonus, your energy levels are also boosted!
5. Prevents Cramps & Sprains – Proper hydration helps keep joints lubricated and muscles more elastic so joint pain is less likely.
6. Natural Headache Remedy – Helps relieve and prevent headaches (migraines & back pains too!), which are commonly caused by dehydration.
7. Improves Skin Complexion – Moisturizes your skin, keeps it fresh, soft, glowing, and smooth. Gets rid of wrinkles. It’s the best anti-aging treatment around!
8. Maintains Regularity – Aids in digestion, as water is essential to digest your food, and prevents constipation.
9. Boosts Immune System – Stock up on not only vitamins, but plenty of water. A water guzzler is less likely to get sick. And who wouldn't rather feel healthy the majority of the time? Drinking plenty of water helps fight against flu, cancer, and other ailments like heart attacks.
10. Puts You in a Good Mood – When the body is functioning at its best, you will feel great and be happy!
