Water revs up metabolism and helps you feel full.<\/p>\n<p>Replace calorie-filled beverages with water, and drink a glass before meals to help you feel fuller.<\/p>\n<p>Drinking more water helps amp up metabolism \u2013 especially if your glass is icy cold. Your body must work to warm the water up, burning a few extra calories in the process.<\/p>\n<p>So, my people, there is nothing wrong with a nice glass of ice-cold water.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Water Boost Your Energy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re feeling drained and depleted, get a pick-me-up with water. Dehydration makes you feel tired.<\/p>\n<p>The right amount of water will help your heart pump your blood more effectively.<\/p>\n<p>And water can help your blood transport oxygen and other essential nutrients to your cells.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lower Stress With Water<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>About 70% to 80% of your brain tissue is water. If you\u2019re dehydrated, your body and your mind are stressed.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re feeling thirsty, you\u2019re already a little dehydrated.<\/p>\n<p>To keep stress levels down, keep a glass of water at your desk or carry a sports bottle and sip regularly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Build Muscle Tone With Water<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Drinking water helps prevent muscle cramping and lubricates joints in the body.<\/p>\n<p>When you\u2019re well hydrated, you can exercise longer and stronger without \u201chitting the wall.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nourish Your Skin<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fine lines and wrinkles are deeper when you\u2019re dehydrated. Water is nature\u2019s own beauty cream.<\/p>\n<p>Drinking water hydrates skin cells and plumps them up, making your face look younger.<\/p>\n<p>It also flushes out impurities and improves circulation and blood flow, helping your skin glow.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stay Regular With Water<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Along with fiber, water is important for good digestion. Water helps dissolve waste particles and passes them smoothly through your digestive tract.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re dehydrated, your body absorbs all the water, leaving your colon dry and making it more difficult to pass waste.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Water Reduces Kidney Stones<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The rate of painful kidney stones seems to be increasing. One of the reasons could be because people \u2013 including children \u2013 aren\u2019t drinking enough water. Water dilutes the salts and minerals in your urine, so reduce your risk with plenty of water.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Are You Drinking Enough Water?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Most healthy adults get enough to drink by letting their thirst guide them.<\/p>\n<p>But the exact amount you need depends on your size, level of activity, the weather, and your general health.<\/p>\n<p>You may need more water if you exercise or sweat heavily.<\/p>\n<p>See you next week.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Let\u2019s try to make it short and sweet today, about an important, yet controversial, topic, in terms of what people know and others just believe.
