Benefits of Water (I)

Our body uses water in nearly every process. Every single cell needs water to function.
Digestion
Hydration is needed for saliva production and to help break down food. Water supports the digestion of soluble fiber, which helps bowel health.

Fluid & Mineral Balance
Water helps balance fluid and mineral levels in the body.

Body Temperature
Water is essential to help regulate our core temperature and cool our body through sweat.

Healthy Blood Plasma Levels
Our blood plasma volume is affected if we do not take in adequate fluids each day, especially in a warm environment or during a workout.

Waste Removal and Detoxification
Our liver, kidneys and bowels use water to help rid of waste and toxins.

Lubrication and Protection
Water lubricates our joints and helps protect our spine, organs and tissues.

More Supple-Looking Skin
Water keeps skin moisturized and supple-looking, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

As skin is an organ, it needs water just like the rest of our body. But our skin cells are the last to get hydrated by the water we drink, so until our body is fully hydrated, our skin will not reap the benefits. Dry skin is less resilient and more likely to get wrinkles. Water can help hydrate our skin, giving it the appearance of being more supple and youthful.

Digestive Health
Drinking water helps stimulate the digestive process and encourages healthy digestion.

Mood Health
Staying hydrated helps keep feeling like the best and most energetic self.

More Endurance
Hydration levels can affect performance, endurance and motivation during physical activity.
