Water helps keep your heart functioning. We've all heard that our bodies couldn't last more than two to three days without water, but we could go weeks without food. Water helps moisturize our skin. We could use all the beauty products in the world on our skin, but without regular water consumption, our skin will be dry and flaky. Shoot for at least eight to 10, 8-ounce glasses of water per day.
Water is the best hydrator.
Exercise is great for our bodies and minds, but it can easily dehydrate us if we don't drink enough water before, during and after a workout. The best way to re-hydrate your body is with cold, clear water. Water is drinkable at any temperature. Unlike coffee or soda which require a specific temperature to be palatable, water can be consumed cold or at room temperature. Water is portable.
