Water: Beauty's Obligation

We all know water is good for the body, but how much do you actually drink?

Here are some of the many reasons why water should be the number one option for you:

Skin: Water is a must if you want healthy looking skin. It can help keep the skin moistened, keeping it free from dry skin. Ensuring you drink enough water a day keeps your skin looking brighter and more radient.

Weight-loss: Water is highly recommended for those who are dieting as you eat a lot less - most people believe they are hungry when they are actually thirsty. People should drink 4-6 ounces of water before eating a meal- this helps with digestion.

Hair: In the same way as it keeps the skin moist, water also ensures that hair is kept moist and healthy.

Health: Many organs in the body are made up of water. Drinking water aids in kidney function, digestion and helps hydration.

A lack of water may lead to the following:

• Dry and dull skin
• Dry eyes
• Fatigue and dizziness
• Lack of sweating
• Dry mucus membranes

It is highly important to ensure you keep hydrated. The feeling of thirst is a way of your body trying to tell you that you are dehydrated and are past the point of dehydration.
