How Healthy is Plain Water

Calgary is finally heating up! And as people are outside enjoying the beautiful weather, it is very much possible that dehydration is becoming a common problem. Nothing quenches thirst like a cold drink of water (at least for me!). I always get a feeling of pure relaxation after drinking water, and why not, it is the healthiest beverage out there!

  • Drinking water suppresses appetite so it can actually cause people to eat less and cut back a few pounds.
  • Water keeps skin refreshed and clean, thus the more you drink the more your appearance will glow!
  • It transports oxygen to our brain and carries nutrients to our organs and tissues.
  • Water prevents constipation which is overall helpful in the maintenance of a clean bowel and stomach system. 

Are you getting enough water? 
If not, then there are numerous ways to increase your intake of water. Water can also be consumed through:

  1. Low Fat milk
  2. 100% Juices
  3. Iced Tea
  4. Lemonade

Fact to remember: It is recommended that people drink at least up to 8 glasses of water per day to keep their systems healthy. So drink up and stay hydrated!

  1. Great title! I was immediately interested in your article because I wondered how could water not be healthy! Reading on I realized that your reinforcing water as a healthy choice not debunking it however your title got my attention. It all seems really simple. Your article is to the point. Its message is clear. Water is good for us, people tend to forget the importance of this though.

    Our bodies are over 70 percent water. If we are not rehydrating all the time then our bodies are thirsty and not preforming as they should. Vitamin water is very popular right now, which I think is interesting that people would rather drink sugared water thinking its better than pure water. Water does so many amazing things for the body. Just drinking enough water for your body can absolutely help with weight loss, healthy skin and all over health.
