The Benefit
of Drinking Water
Water.... Sure, it’s a fundamental part of human existence
and life on earth. And it has been here with us since time immemorial.
Well....what's the big benefit of drinking water?
It seems
like there’s been a Renaissance in interest in the benefit
of drinking water all of a sudden, as if it had been in
hibernation and has re-emerged to become the latest trend.
Well, the first benefit of drinking
water is that we
need it because it makes up 90% of what constitutes our
bodies. We’d be dust without it! But obvious facts aside,
why should you run down to your local water store to look
for a 50-ounce bottle of spring fed “designer” mineral
water? I mean, c’mon, there’s water from the tap, right?
Well, it turns out that the most obvious
benefit of drinking water is that it combats fatigue.
And what are some of the causes of fatigue? An
overabundance of waste in our systems can lead to inertia
and tiredness. Water, the cure-all, flushes all those
wastes and toxins right out of our bodies.
Another benefit of drinking water includes the
fact that proper hydration combats crankiness and anxiety.
Perhaps you’ve noticed that most beverages don’t really
quench your thirst, they just satisfy the urge to have a
taste in your mouth.
Well, the funny thing about the
benefits of drinking
water is that people are finally waking up to the fact
that it does have a taste. Thus, the astonishing array of
designer spring waters in the supermarket beverage section
hailing from the U.S., France, Iceland, Canada, Italy and
even Fiji!
Now you can get the benefit of drinking water in upscale
designer flavors. All of the brands claim that their
source is the purest and most free of the contaminants
that are found in most public water supplies. So, in the
end, it really is about taste. Public tap water tastes
like chlorine. Yuck! And of course, studies are now
showing that drinking chlorine every day in your water is
definitely not healthy.
Yet another benefit
of drinking water is that it can help you to lose weight.
If you drink water every time you're hungry instead of
eating, it can often substitute for high calorie food!
I know that there
must be some benefits to drinking water because now my
boyfriend is drinking it all the time instead of juice or
soda pop....Which is great, because there’s always a
steady supply of my favorite water at his house now.
And we both feel more vital, have enhanced metabolic
functions and we have lots more love to share because of
the rejuvenating benefit of drinking water!
