Water Consumpton - What are the benefits?

pooping! seriously.

one thing that is has really done for me..it has cleared up my face...i use to have breakouts a lot and i havent had one since i stopped drinking soda/juices....etc....i only drink water all day, every day.....sometimes 8 to 12 cups....

I drank diet coke all the time. About a week ago I stopped drinking diet coke cold turkey and I upped my water intake to 72 oz per day and had an awesome result!!! It made my system go back to normal so to speak, I felt less hungry and the problem of constipation was eliminated. In fact, I lost two pounds that had just been stuck inside my system

It helps speed up your metabolism as well. It helps with kidney function. It increases energy because it hydrates you better than any other liquid you can drink. Prevents drymouth:happy:

There is tons of stuff online regarding water consumption if you google it. You are not getting all the additives that other drinks have in them. Plus, you do not want to have too much caffeine in a day or electrolytes. You want electrolytes don't get me wrong...but you can actually get too much.

its the best thing to drink. it helps digestion, skin, weight loss, absortion of nutrience, every systen in your body from head to toe! Ice cold not the bestest, but LOTS of cool to room temp water will make you pee alot yes, but make you a healthy and HYDRATED person. this will push you through workouts and beyond! Drop that soda and pick up a brita filter, its everything and more! and if your bored with water, get a packet of something and put it in there like crystal lite, slim packs, tea (esp Green or Black)! never underestimate the power of water. it makes you LESS SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and feel fantastic like me :-)

you burn alot of calories running to the bathroom:happy:

it's helped me with skin problems and also keeps you feeling full for longer. Keep in mind that most of the time when we are "hungry" we may actually need to drink something! So it definitely helps regulate your appetite.

...and other things :sick: ......:laugh:

Thanks everyone! I did not know all of this either! I have not only had weight issues my whole life but I've had acne very bad as well. I have always been a diet coke/diet sundrop/sweet tea kind of girl but I'm going to stop and see what just water does for my face and my body!

If there's any truth to what I've read, it cleanses out the system and increases metabolism. If you drink it cold, you burn more because your body has to work to heat it up. For me, it has definitely helped my weight loss. In addition, it's helped things to move better in the digestive tract and it really does keep you feeling full between meals. It also does quench your thirst when you've been working out. I used to be an addicted Pepsi drinker and quit cold turkey and have been drinking predominantly water, with an occasional iced tea for the last 5 + months. I had a pepsi during my anniversary celebration and just about spit it out due to the sickeningly sweet and otherwise awful taste it now has for me. Whether it's psychological or not, I do find that I feel better overall now that I've been drinking water almost exclusively and lots of it. It's amazing that I drink more water on a daily basis than I used to in a whole month. My how things have changed!
