Water !!

Why should we drink water ?
Water accumulates around 70% of our body weight.Other than that,there are several benefits which we may not realize them !



1. Stay Slimmer With Water
Water revs up metabolism and helps you feel full.
Replace calorie-laden beverages with water, and drink a glass before meals to help you feel fuller.
Drinking more water also helps amp up metabolism - especially if your glass is icy cold. Your body must work to warm the water up, burning a few extra calories in the process.

2. Water Boosts Your Energy
Water helps the blood transport oxygen and other essential nutrients to your cells.
If you’re getting enough water, your heart also doesn’t have to work as hard to pump blood throughout your body.

3. Lower Stress With Water
85% of your brain tissue is water. If you’re dehydrated, both your body and your mind will be stressed.

4. Build Muscle Tone With Water
Drinking water helps prevent muscle cramping and lubricates joints in the body.

5. Nourish Your Skin
Fine lines and wrinkles are deeper when you’re dehydrated. Water is nature’s own beauty cream.

6. Stay Regular With Water
Water helps dissolve waste particles and passes them smoothly through your digestive tract.

7. Water Reduces Kidney Stones
Water dilutes the salts and minerals in your urine that form the solid crystals known as kidney stones.

Nutritionists recommend we follow the "8x8 rule."

Drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day.
