Water: Drink It Up!!

Hey Gorgeous People,

It's winter for all us Aussies down here and I know I have a serious problem with water when it comes to winter. No, I don't have some strange phobia to water but I do forget to drink water regularly. I know, it's horrendous and really bad for my health. I carry around a water bottle as much as possible so I can drink when I am bored or not doing anything. When I do this, I drink from around 1-2L of water a day. But I am really forgetful so it rarely happens.

I just wanted to share with you some amazing health benefits of water!!

1. It can aid in weightloss! By drinking a glass of water before meals, it makes us feel less hungry and therefore eat less food. This is great because portion sizes have gotten bigger and bigger recently and a glass of water beforehand could make some positive changes. Also drinking water can help us to not mistake hunger for just being thirsty.

2. It helps digestion! Drinking water regularly helps to break down fats and soluble fibre which helps with digesting food normally.

3. It can help lower risk of some cancers! Scientific research has shown that people who drink water regularly have a lowered risk of bowel cancer. It may also aid in lowering the risk of colon cancer and breast cancer!

4. It can improve your mood! Water refreshes our body and also our state of mind. So by drinking water, you can brighten your day a little bit more. Minor dehydration has actually shown to negatively impact your mood.

5. It keeps us alert and energised! Drinking water helps our body stay healthy and awake which keeps our attention span, memory and motor skills working as they should.

6. It keeps skin looking good! When our body is full of fluids it forms a protective barrier so fluids can't be lost. Dehydration makes skin look dry and wrinkled ... eek!

7. Cleansing! Warm water opens pores so they can be unclogged of any dirt and extra oils so you can regain a healthy facial glow.

Water is so healthy for your body and it is a vital fluid that we have to keep replenishing! Water has so many benefits for our health and this is only 7 but there are so many more!
