Benefits and Importance of Drinking Water

Did you know that drinking water has many various benefits aside from keeping you hydrated?

Drinking water helps with digestion, regulates body temperature, helps regulate blood pressure, carries oxygen throughout your body, flushes waste out of your body, protects your organs, and tissues, and helps dissolve minerals and nutrients to make them accessible to your body. Just as you take in water throughout the day, you lose water through breathing, perspiring, and urinating. Therefore, it is essential that you replenish the water supply that you lose throughout the day by drinking enough water per day.
 
Here are some tips to help you increase your water intake.

• Always keep a bottle of water with you.
• Infuse your water with berries or citruses of your choice.
• Replace soft drinks and sports drinks with water.
• Set a daily water intake goal.
• Use an alarm to set reminders to drink water.
• Drink one glass of water per awake hour.
