What are the benefits of drinking more water?
I used to drink little or no water. I could go probably two days without drinking anything. Recently I became dehydrated and now I’m drinking at least three bottles a day (since about five days ago). The other night I had five hours sleep, I had school tomorrow and I expected to be absolutely shattered. Since I’m usually still manage to be tired even when I have ten hours sleep. I was wondering could my increase in water consumption have been the cause of this? And what other benefits are there from drinking more?

Well I don’t know the answer to the first question, but my mom was trying to diet so she drank water all the time, with every meal, no soda or alcohol. She lost weight and was more fit for exercises. I think that water flushes out your system. But it is very important to have lots of water because you need it to have energy to do things.

Oh man…water is incredible to your body. I recently got into fitness about 3 months ago (have lost 25lbs!) and in my fitness journey learned about how important it is to drinks lots of water.
First of all, lets start with these facts, 75% of your body is water and 90% of your brain.
All functions within the body require the presence of water. A well hydrated body enables these functions to occur quickly and efficiently. All chemical processes involve energy metabolism and drinking plenty of water will make us feel more energetic and boost our metabolic rate.
Alot of times, your body mistakes hunger for thirst. So people tend to eat when really, they just need a glass of water.
Hydration is essential to help prevent clogging of arteries an the heart and brain…so drink lots of water and avoid heart issues!
