Everyone knows that people are supposed to drink eight glass of water a day, thats about between one and two litres. But few of us actually do this. And worse still, people don't substitute the water they were supposed to drink with another liquid, like orange juice or energade. That means that many people are virtually dehydrating themselves all of the time. So that is one reason to drink more water.
Another is that water contains no calories, so it won't make you put on weight. Most people over-eat because they think that they are more hungry than they are, when they are actually more thirsty. So drinking the right amount of water can decrease the appetite.
And furthermore, water is a great detoxing agent for the body. It flushes out old toxins and poisons and is great when drank with a slice of lemon or mashed up strawberries. Even diluted juice is healthy for the body, and water tastes better when mixed with just enough juice to give it a subtle flavour.
Take care though not to drink waters that contain too much sugar or fruit sugars. The idea is to maintain a healthy balance, have some water, some diluted juice, some flavoured waters, and food too.
The diet can stay more or less the same and there will still be some improvement once water has become a natural part of your life.
