Our bodies are made up of 60% water but this does not mean we are walking reservoirs. For men it is recommended to drink at least 15 cups a day and women at least 11 cups.

Water is essential for many things and here are some good reasons why to drink it.

• It hydrates the skin and helps us look less wrinkly
• Lubricates our joints
• Helps deliver oxygen throughout the body
• Helps form saliva and mucus
• Cushions the brain and spinal cord
• Regulates body temperature
• Helps regulate the digestive system
• Helps flush out waste and toxins
• Helps maintain blood pressure
• Needed for our airways e.g. helps prevent asthma
• Makes minerals and nutrients more accessible
• Helps prevent kidney damage
• Helps us perform better when exercising
• Assists with weight loss
• Reduces the effect of a hangover!

Well I will certainly drink to that!
