To look youthful, to feel energized we need to do a lot of things in life. And that’s what all that upbringing and schooling is about – to learn how to navigate, find facts and apply them to your benefits and utmost health.
WATER is one of the factors that keeps us going, literally. We can live without food seven times longer than we would without water.
Water flushes out toxins ensuring our non-stop functioning.
Water allows us to increase our energy as we go throughout the day. Since our brain is mostly water, drinking it helps us think, focus and concentrate better and be more alert.
Let’s sing the praise to WATER this morning and beyond. Often water is substituted with soft drinks, juices, smoothies. Yes, it’s OK and even necessary to add more nutrition to your body. But hey, here’s what we’re missing if we lack WATER in our life.

• Have you been ever an avid Water Drinker?
Good Morning all. 🙂 I have always been an avid water drinker.
Morning all, happy Saturday!
Water is just about the only think I drink besides a occasional tea in the am
good morning I must say I am not and I know this is one thing I need to do but I am not a water drinker I need help
Good Morning! I never used to drink much water, but I’ve been consciously trying to drink more for the past few years. I don’t really like the taste, but if I add a slice of lemon, I find myself enjoying it for a change.
Alyson,
One of the reason you may not enjoy water… is that you drink TAP water.
Spring water is the way to go!
Yep, could be the problem. Guess I should give Spring Water a try! Thanks-
good morning #amcoffee 🙂 love water, actually i try to drink at least half my weight in Oz of water a day

HOW MUCH WATER DO YOU DRINK DURING THE DAY?
A lot however there are some days I do not drink enough
I can say I don’t drink to much water I know this is a big reason who I don’t drop my weight the way I should but I don’t like it
I drink at least 2 32oz bottles a day.
Trying to drink at least 3 glasses a day, which is a huge improvement for the person who rarely drank any!
I have dropped a few pounds, so perhaps the water is helping.
I drink 12+ glasses a day. I’ve got a water bottle I make sure I refill 4 times each day!
that’s great do u all drink tap spring or flavored I need some suggestion so I can start to drink it
I use Mio and Crystal light. They can be bought in drink Isles usually. If I drink plain Tap it has to have a lot of ice!
Wow! That is impressive! I feel like I’ve done great when I get in a few glasses, but I have health issues that would probably improve with more water. I’m trying to get better, but I can see that I need to try harder! Way to go, getting in your daily recommended amount and more!
I bought a couple contigo water bottles that have measurements on the side and try to keep track of how many bottles per day. I try for at least 4!
I try to drank a lot of water
try to drink at least half my weight in ounces of water.
I don’t really keep track but I have a water bottle that’s around 24-30 oz that I take to work and I usually finish it. Then I drink water when I’m home and a 16 oz glass before bed.
About 8 glasses a day
I have been trying to drink more water but can do a better job of it especially since I am trying to shed a few pounds. Probably drink about 4 glasses on average.
WATER Improves Skin Complexion
– Moisturizes your skin
– Keeps it fresh, soft, glowing and smooth
– Gets rid of wrinkles. It’s the best anti-aging treatment around!
I have always heard this. Wish it were true for me. I have never noticed a difference in my skin.
ok I see all the benefits I am going to have to start with adding water in my diet I will give it a try
water and a great face moisturizer can really make your skin feel amazing!!
I would drink tons more of water if I thought it helped with wrinkles. lol
THis must be why I look so young! 🙂
My skin is dry. Definitely could use more moisture. I really need to drink more water to see if that changes.
I really noticed a difference when I stopped dranking soda and drank lots of water
Wish it would work for me but since I am outside a lot, my skin ages faster than the water can repair it! LOL Yes I wear sunscreen!
I recently read you should drink water before going to bed to keep leg cramps away.
Wendy,
Partly it is true.
What cAuses muscle cramps is the lack of such electrolytes like MAGNESIUM!
Thanks
WOW! Didn’t realize it could reduce wrinkles. Great to know and now am definitely going to try to drink more water.
WATER Maintains Regularity – Aids in digestion as water is essential to digest your food and prevents constipation.
Like anything else, our organs need lubrication. The bulk of the digested foods is sitting inside the intestinal tract for much longer if there’s no WATER to move it along and eliminate.
Just think about that “train” loaded with toxins that is scheduled to leave the station, but it can’t due to the absence of the mechanic. So easy to fix! Get mechanic inside the train and MOVE it!
I don’t have a problem with that but it makes scence to me
Water is good for digestion. In fact when my sin was little and I noticed he hadn’t pooped for a day or so I would give him a small amount of water and by the end of the day he pooped.
Interesting. 🙂
yes i couldn’t agree more. i recently had my gallbladder removed and realized through research the importance of water for your digestive health. i try to drink water with every meal. and when i get sick of it, i add some lemon which not only adds great flavor but has so many benefits to your health as well.
My system seems to work better when I drink water regularly. I also feel better, probably since the toxins are moving through, instead of being left behind.
Maybe that is why I don’t have a problem going. 🙂
That is very true!
I also noticed a difference in when and how often I went when I stopped dranking sodas and only drank water. I was very regular
This is one of the reasons that dd usually will only get water with her meals! For her lunch, I only pack her water – no juices or milk!
This is so true. Water is such a simple thing, but helps with some major things.
I knew about water reducing constipation. So glad I don’t have that problem! LOL
WATER IS YOUR Natural Headache Remedy
– Helps relieve and prevent headaches – migraines & back pains too – which are commonly caused by dehydration.
One of the clinical investigations/studies published in PubMed states the following: “We speculate that water deprivation may play a role in migraine, particularly in prolonging attacks.”
A headache can be induced by water deprivation.
When you have a headache, and you know it is not from something else – drink your precious water!
maybe that’s why I have headaches
Karen,
That’s for sure a very important detail you gotta investigate by … drinking water throughout the day. And when you do get a headache, drink a glass of water ASAP. Usually, within ten minutes it should go away.
I will give this a try for sure I do know its important to drink it but I don’t like it but as we tell our children its good for u I need to do it to lol
Haven’t heard this. Good to know!
absolutely, my mother always said, if you’re upset just sit down drink a bottle of water and breathe. works every single time!!! i always feel better after
Never thought about that, but it makes sense.
I learned this a long time ago. If I do not drink enough water I get real bad headache.
When I start getting a Migraine the first thing I do is drink a large glass of water, most of the time I’m way behind on my water consumption for the day
This is probably why I have had headaches here lately. I have been slacking on my water consumption
This is probably why I have had headaches here lately. I have been slacking on my water consumption
Never heard of this before! I will try drinking more water on the few occasions I have a headache!
After thinking about this one, I bet that’s why after being outside in the 100+ heat and sweating at work, I usually end up with a headache! I usually gulp down water (yes I know bad) and it goes away in a about 10-15 minutes!
Awesome to know that, I never thought about it. But I only drink water. Maybe a coffee but no sodas.
I also knew about reducing the headaches. Great info!
WATER Boosts Immune System
A water guzzler is less likely to get sick. And who wouldn’t rather feel healthy the majority of the time? Drinking plenty of water helps fight against flu and chronic diseases.
Just think how much toxins will be flushed out with each and every sip you take. Visualize it. Feel it. And most importantly, PRACTICE IT REGULARLY!
I have encountered a lot of people who think that drinking water would raise their already high blood pressure and affect their health.
It is counter intuitive, but the fact is that water helps to flush out toxins and ease the pressure in all of our bodily systems.
wow all this from water my body is missing so much I must put it in my diet
Sorry but I find it a bit humorous that some think water will increase their blood pressure. Our body is made mostly of water so how the heck would that work!
yes visualize it and feel it! couldn’t agree more. my body feels like a fit machine on water, i love it!
People really think it raises their blood pressure? Perhaps they want to blame it on water, so they can justify eating all of the wrong things that actually do raise it.
That is why I drink a lot of water so I don’t get sick.
If anyone has a rough time drinking their daily water they can use crystal light, mio or just slicing fresh fruit up and putting it in their water. The little bit of flavor makes it better!
thanks Angie I will give them a try I just cant drink water plain
I absolutely love the strawberry lemonade and the blackberry lemonade from Crystal light! They are awesome! Hope you love them as much as I do!
thank you I will give them a try
I don’t like it plain either, but I do enjoy it with some fresh lemon in it – very refreshing.
Why would it raise your blood pressure…its water. I love ice cold water
I try to drink a lot of water throughout the day and during the winter when it’s cooler, I have a hard time! Now that we are in the 90-100s again, I will be drinking a lot more water than I have been! 🙂
Water is great for alot of things.
Never knew about how water helps the immune system. I have a cold right now. Maybe if I drank more water I wouldn’t have gotten sick. Just wondering ……
WATER Prevents Cramps & Sprains
Proper hydration helps keep joints lubricated and muscles more elastic so joint pain is less likely.
– With cramps, remember to drink everything warm – leave cold water out! Warm water along with warm raspberry tea truly helps the cramps go away.
DO YOU REMEMBER TO DRINK WATER DURING YOUR CYCLE? Rembere, it should be WARM!
well if and when I do drink water I need it ice cold and I don’t have a cycle no more but that’s great to know
yes, i actualy saw an acupuncturist who reccommended teh same thing. try to remember that warm circulates the body as cold makes you frigid. hot teas are good for you (keep the suga to a minimum if you can or substitute honey) but actually luke warm water, or room temperature water is also better for you than that nice cold glass of ice water. youll really feel a lot better!
I drank hot tea when ovulating. .it really helps. .something my mom has always done
Good to know. Warm water wasn’t something I would have thought of drinking for cramps. That would have helped years ago!
I was going to mention that. Leg cramps can be prevented for sure. I hate waking up in middle of the night with a cramp in the leg and you have that huge knot in it.
Thanks for that info! I’ll pass it along to my niece!
yes ladies you all have some great feed back
Interesting. .I do drank hot tea when I am ovulating. .it helps a lot
I drink a specially formulated tea made just for cramps! 🙂
I don’t have that issue. I’ve had a hysterectomy, but I will share this information. Thank you.
My joints ache a lot. Water might help!
For your inspiration & Resolution –> Watch a quick video here and come back to tell me your WATER PLAN for the week! Or may be for life!
that was really awesome I could feel it was great I will but water in my daily routine
water is a huge part of not only my diet but the family as well. our pediatrician even agreed that the kids should not be having juice at all really. that water and milk is perfectly fine. and that cutting those sugars out really is best for their bodies. we love water and always carry it with us wherever we go as a family. it’s a great healthy habit to have.
I actually enjoyed the art of that. I think our bodies tell us when we are lacking something we need. I always tell people to pay attention to your body. I am glad I drink water all the time and I always make sure my kids do too. One of the first things I as people when they say they are constipated or say they have a headache is, ” How much water have you drank?’.
That was neat! I always carry a reusable container for water and try to drink one every hour!
I know all my children are water drinkers even my grandson he oly drink water milk and little juice
My water plan needs to be increasing my intake. I’ve been guilty of not drinking much at all. It will be interesting to see if some of my health problems improve by doing so. No matter what, it is going to be a lifestyle change for me that I should have started years ago!
That was cool..I would go see a show like that
I will be drinking more water this week (well more than I normally do!)
We all drink water, even the kids. I send it in their lunches. Pediatrician and dentist agree water is better for kids than juice.
I plan on carrying water with me everywhere I go. With warmer days coming, hopefully, I won’t forget!
That’s it. You’ve convinced me! I’ll drink water before and after every meal and at least one glass in between. I’ll also drink water with my meals.
I’m having a massage today and I know that I have to drink alot of water to get the toxins in your body out after the massage
