Drinking water purifies your body. It cleans out the toxins and hydrates your body. Studies have shown that drinking ice cold water can burn up 100 calories just because your body has to heat it up to your body temperature to use it.

Personally, the more water I drink, the more weight I lose.

OMG...where do I begin?

First of all, your body is made up of mostly water...especially your muscles. In order to keep your body organs funcioning properly, you should have a minimum of one ounce of water per each pound of half of your body weight. Humans generally walk around chronically dehydrated. If you work out you should have more and...you should match your caffeine and alcohol ounce for ounce with water. It flushes your system. It prevents edema and water retention.

Hope this helps. Drink your water!!!!

The other posters are correct, water is very important for many reasons however you needn't carry a bottle around with you all the time. Years ago people didn't and they survived. I think it's kind of a trendy thing to do now. Just be sensible.

I know that if I don't drink enough water, my skin dries out really badly during the cold winter months.

I have a real hard time forcing myself to drink water...ugh.

I know all the benefits and my mom basically passed away from dehydration when she became ill from the flu...she was blind and did not like to get up to p. That is a whole other story from 12 years ago...

Also, Tip: If you drink a whole glass at a time that is better than carrying a bottle and sipping all the time,,,then you won't have to piddle all day! Usually, one glass on p... lol

You can confuse thirst for hunger so staying hydrated is very important when you are trying to lose weight.

thanks for all the input. i usually drink about five liters of soda a day if not more. so last week i started drink no soda, well diet and not so much and way more water. i just didnt know why it was healthy.
