It’s going to be a hot summer, and we are predicting a lot of thirsty people will be cooling off with sports drinks and soda; which begs the question: is water ever our first choice on a hot summer day?
There are incredible health benefits that can only be obtained from pure water. Benefits like…
Maximum Nutrition
Without water your body has a difficult time transporting nutrients to your vital organs. Water makes sure that you get the maximum nutrition from the food you eat. That is something only water can do.
Detoxification
Your body collects junk throughout the day from the foods you eat to the air you breathe. A morning cup of water works to purge this junk from your system and will give you a boost in energy.
Weight Loss
Cold water suppresses your appetite and speeds up your metabolism. This is a great tip for those looking to shed some extra weight for swimsuit season.
Lower Blood Pressure
Drinking a sufficient amount of water helps your heart pump blood more freely. A strong heart has many benefits, primarily lower blood pressure and higher energy levels.
Relieving Muscle Cramps
If you’re enjoying some fun in the sun this summer, drink water regularly throughout the day to prevent muscle cramps and pain. On a beautiful summer day, the last thing you want is to be slowed down by sore muscles.
Boosting Energy
Regularly taking sips of water during workouts or physical activities will keep your energy level high and allow to you enjoy yourself longer.
Beautiful Skin
Staying hydrated with water delays the appearance of wrinkles and maintains your skins integrity.
Regulating Bathroom Visits
There is nothing like water when it comes to softening stools and relieving constipation. It also ensures that your body is purging itself of all the junk it collects on a daily basis.
Preventing Kidney Stones
Drink water every day helps your body flush out all the junk in your kidneys, including kidney sand which is the early form of kidney stones.
Curing Urinary Tract Infections
Urinary tract infections are common, especially among women. Drinking water regularly can gradually treat these bothersome infections and prevent more severe infections.
Eliminating Body Odor
Along with all the junk that your water helps flush out every day, it also removes the odor that junk carries; keeping you smelling fresh.
Stay hydrated, drink water and you will have a great summer!
