Drink more water!!

Reasons to drink more water:
1.  Drinking water helps maintain the balance of body fluids.  Your body is composed of 60% water.  The functions of these bodily fluids include digestion, absorption, circulation, creation of saliva, transportation of nutrients, and maintenance of body temperature. To keep these in balance you need to drink enough water.
2.  Water can help control calories.  If you choose to drink water or eat a diet higher in water-rich foods that are healthier and more filling, this will help you trim calories intake.  Food with high water content tends to look larger its higher volume requires more chewing, and it is absorbed more slowly by the body, which helps you feel full.  Water-rich foods include fruits, vegetables, broth-based soups, oatmeal and beans.
3.  Water helps energize muscles.  Cells that don't maintain their balance of fluids and electrolytes shrivel, which can result in muscle fatigue.  Drinking enough fluids is important when exercising too.  When muscle cells don't have adequate fluids, they don't work as well and performance can suffer.
4.  Water helps keep skin looking good.  Your skin contains plenty of water, and functions as a protective barrier to prevent excess fluid loss.  DRINK MORE WATER!!!  Helps you look healthier.
5.  Water helps your kidneys.  Your kidneys do an amazing job of cleansing and ridding your body of toxins as long as your intake of fluids is adequate.  If you chronically drink too little, you may be at higher risk for kidney stones.
6.  Water helps maintain normal bowel function---And we all want that!!!  Adequate fluid and fiber is the perfect combination, because he fluid pumps up the fiber and acts like a broom to keep your bowel functioning properly!!
