Have you been drinking enough water?

The general rule is to drink 2 litres of water a day, but of course, it varies from person to person. Remember to sip small amounts throughout the day to keep yourself well hydrated! Don’t wait until you feel thirsty! If you are feeling thirsty, that means you are already dehydrated.


But… Why is water so important?


Here are 10 important benefits of drinking water:

1. Helps to lose weight: Water plays a crucial role in your metabolism. Drinking water also reduces hunger- an excellent appetite suppressant!
2. Healthy skin: Drinking water will give more moisture to dry skin. Water also replenishes skin tissues and increases skin elasticity. Healthier skin makes you look younger!
3. Fights infection: When you are dehydrated, your immune system is weakened!
4. Get rid of harmful body toxins: Our blood functions to dissolve, process and transport nutrients, and eliminate waste materials- and our blood is mostly made up of water!
5. Healthy heart: Water prevents clogging of arteries. Dehydration causes your heart to be incapacitated, resulting in possible heart problems.
