1.
Headache Control:
Our brain is comprised of over 75% water and when we don't drink enough of it
our thinking power becomes weaker. Water refreshes the mind and helps us think clearly.
Many minor headaches are caused by the strain of the brain so drink a glass or two of water the next time you get a headache.
2.
Reduces Infections:
Dehydration weakens the immune system and
makes the body less resistant to infections.
With Water, the body charges up and is able to fight infections and
lower feverish temperatures.
3.
Gives you better skin:
Skin needs water for elasticity, so too little water
leaves it looking dry, looking lined and feeling delicate.
4.
Helps you concentrate:
Without water your brain is like a dead battery; it's running on what little charge that remains.
Water helps charge up your brain and removes body toxins making you feel fresher and more relaxed.

5.
Banishes Bags:
Sunken eyes and under eye circles are signs that you need
water. Eyes sink because there isn't enough water to keep them
suspended in the eye socket. Under-eye circles are due to thin skin
being bruised as fluid drains away.
6. Stops Cramp:
Blood transports oxygen to the muscles for activities such as
exercise. If there isn't enough oxygen in the blood, the muscles
create lactic acid which causes painful cramp. Drinking more water
helps to keep blood pumped with oxygen.
7. Reduces Cystitis:
A healthy hydrated body removes waste with light yellow virtually
odourless urine. If you are not drinking enough, the darker
urine is more highly concentrated and waste products linger in the
bladder, leaving you prone to cystitis and kidney infections.
8.Keeps Bowels Healthy:
Without Water the contents of the colon (lower
intestine) can dry out and get stuck, eventually causing diverticulitis.
Constipation can also be a problem, because water is needed to bulk out
faeces. Drinking water, along with taking in water from Fruit and
Vegetables, helps to rehydrate this waste.
9.Prevents Fluid Retention:
When you are felling puffy as women often do before
a period, drinking water isn't your immediate thought. But it's the best
treatment for reducing fluid retention.
If your body doesn't get enough water, it senses there
is a shortage and begins to retain every drop it needs for vital daily
processes.
10.Keeps your breath Sweet:
Bad breath is a classic sign that you need to boost
your water intake. Saliva helps cleanse the teeth of bacteria
and keeps the tongue hydrated.
Lack of water dries the mouth, leads to furry tongue
and prevents bacteria from being washed away, all of which can cause
halitosis.
