Water reduces kidney stones
The rate of painful kidney stones is rising. One of the reasons could be because people – including children – aren’t drinking enough water.
Water dilutes the salts and minerals in your urine that form the solid crystals known as kidney stones.
Kidney stones can’t form in diluted urine, so reduce your risk with plenty of water!
Lower stress with water
About 70 per cent to 80 per cent of your brain tissue is water. If you are dehydrated, your body and your mind are stressed.
If you are feeling thirsty, you are already a little dehydrated.
To keep stress levels down, keep a glass of water at your desk or carry a sports bottle and sip regularly.
Build muscle tone with water
Drinking water helps prevent muscle cramping and lubricates joints in the body.
When you’re well hydrated, you can exercise longer and stronger without “hitting the wall.”
Nourish your skin
Fine lines and wrinkles are deeper when you’re dehydrated. Water is nature’s own beauty cream.
Drinking water hydrates skin cells and plumps them up, making your face look younger.
It also flushes out impurities and improves circulation and blood flow, helping your skin glow.
Water boosts energy
If you’re feeling drained and depleted, get a pick-me-up with water. Dehydration makes you feel tired.
The right amount of water will help your heart pump your blood more effectively.
And water can help your blood transport oxygen and other essential nutrients to your cells.
