Water is an essential part of life. Although you may not realize it, water is the essence of our being. It’s why so many people claim that their number one beauty secret is water. So will drinking plenty of water actually help you maintain your youth? We think so, and here is why:
Water helps maintain the moisture level of your skin. The more moisturized your skin is, the easier it will rebound to its normal state. This will help reduce the formation of wrinkles.
Water helps all of your connective tissues and joints function properly. Water helps lubricate your joints.
When a person does not drink water, it starts to affect basic bodily functions and the body purification system does not work as efficiently, making is hard for our body to dispel toxins[1].
Water is a pure drink and can help purify the body and skin. By continually drinking water throughout the day, you are putting into your body, a pure substance.
Drinking a glass a water right away when you get up will help replenish your body of the water you lost while sleeping. As you sleep, you get dehydrated. We lose about ten to twelve cups of water a day through breathing, perspiration and body wastes[2].
Drinking a glass of water right before you go to bed can also help prevent further dehydration while you sleep. The original recommended eight glasses of water a day may not be enough to keep you hydrated, so it is important to continually sip water throughout the day.
As most of our body is made up of water, don’t deprive yourself!
