Water is very important to our bodies, without it we cannot
survive. Water consumption helps the
body breath because it moistens the lungs as well as a number of other
things.
What happens if you do not drink enough water?
You can develop a number of symptoms from dehydration such
as:
-Low blood pressure
-Lethargy
-Rapid heart rate
-Excessive body fat
-Poor muscle tone
-Decreased ability to digest food
-Heartburn
-Stomach ache

You should drink plenty of water throughout the day. The recommend amount is 8 to 10 glasses of
water per day. Spreading the amount of
water throughout the day will reduce the constant urge to use the
restroom.
Soda, Coffee, and beer are liquids, but do not necessarily
quench your thirst. These liquids
acutally increase the body’s elimination of fluids due to the caffeine and
alcohol in the beverages. Eating healthy
can help as well to stay hydrated. Try
eating at least 5 serving of fruits and vegetables a day. This along with plenty of water will help you
live healthier.
