Hydration

Your body is about 60 percent water, which means that over half of your composition is made up of water. Even more shocking is that your blood is 90 percent water.

Seeing as your body needs water to function at its highest level, staying hydrated is a basic form of self-care.

There are numerous benefits to drinking enough water every day. Here are a few key benefits:

• Keeps mouth clean and prevents tooth decay
• Assists with hydration of your joints, which are 80 percent water
• Prevents premature skin aging and can help skin look plump, dewy, and youthful
• Promotes weight loss
• Helps your body get rid of waste

Healing Water

Drinking water is the easiest way to stay hydrated. The best way to consume water is at room temperature so that your body doesn’t have to waste any energy heating it up.

If you’re drinking water as soon as you wake up, which is highly recommended since you can become dehydrated while you’re sleeping, try warm water with a squeeze of lemon and a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar.

This is a very cleansing and alkalizing beverage that helps your body with digestion, boosts your metabolism, and cleanses the liver.

If you struggle to drink water because you find it boring (or don’t like the taste), try infusing your water with fruit and herbs. All you need is a water infuser, which is affordable and can be purchased online.
