Some great reasons to drink plenty of water while eating healthy and exercising. Drink 8-10 glasses of water per day. There are several advantages to drinking plenty of water. When the body is not receiving adequate fluids, the kidneys compensate by conserving water. The result can be water retention -- water weight you really don't want. Drinking a lot of fluids makes the stomach feel fuller, thus decreasing the tendency to overeat.

    Less risk of asthma attack

    Also, high blood pressure is partly caused by dehydration so drinking water
    every day lowers your blood pressure

    Water intake can increase physical endurance and ability to work by as much

    Dehydration alters the fluid balance in the nerve cells and may distort vital
    signals. These misfired or poor signals from the central nervous system
    may be the root cause of neurological illnesses such as Attention
    Defecit Disorder, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, anxiety or depression. Water
    plays a major role in the function of the brain and nervous system.
