We all know that water is good for us, but often the reasons why are a bit fuzzy. And even if we know why we should drink water, it's a hard habit to form.  Here are the 5 best reasons to drink more water! 

1. Water Has 0 Calories

Replace those sugary soft drinks with water.  Water does not contain any calories; unlike soft drinks, that are jam packed with calories, water is not going to increase your weight.   You can imagine what can be achieved by replacing all that with water.  Make it a habit - whenever you go to a fast food joint or a restaurant, ask for water instead of a pop.  Another great tip is to have a large glass of water before each meal; it will suppress your appetite.

2. Water Keeps Your Skin in Good Condition

Drinking water can hydrate and clear up your skin.  It won't happen overnight, but just a week of drinking a healthy amount of water can have good effects on your skin.

3. Water Cleanses Your Body

Water serves as a medium to carry wastes away from your body - this is accomplished in the form of urine and sweat.  This is one of the most important functions of water in our body (although not very highly appreciated often in daily life).  Understand that our body is composed of about 70% water!

4. Water is Cheap

Obviously, I am not talking about bottled water here. Most water supplied by taps is good enough for drinking and comes fairly cheap.  You get it for free in most restaurants, fast food joints, and drinking fountains in your workplace or school. You don't require credit cards or cash to ask for it.

5. Water Gives You Energy

Being dehydrated can drain your energy and make you feel tired; even only being a little dehydrated. If you're thirsty, you're already dehydrated, this can lead to fatigue, muscle weakness, dizziness and other symptoms.
