7 Ways Drinking More Water Can Make Your Body Better

However, when you hydrate before, during, and after your workouts, you help your body regulate itself, flush out built-up acid, and reduce fatigue that could force you to cut your workouts short. Your muscles thrive off of water, so give them what they want!

5. Electrolytes in Water Helps with Digestion

Poor digestion can cause you all types of problems like constipation, bloating, and weakening your immune system. First and foremost, you should ensure that you are getting enough fiber to help your food move along. But fiber is useless without the right amount of water in your system.

If you are dehydrated, your digestive system cannot function as smoothly as it’s meant to. So fill up on fiber and wash it down with a glass of water to keep your stomach troubles at bay.

6. Water Helps Boost Your Immune System

One of the first things people will tell you to do if you’re sick is to stay hydrated. This is true not only once you get sick, but staying properly hydrated can prevent you from getting under the weather in the first place.

Water helps your body flush out toxins, and it helps you get rid of the body’s waste through proper digestion. What’s more, is that water helps your immune system send white blood cells through the body to fight off viruses and bacteria. So, especially during the cold and flu season, drink up!

7. Electrolytes in Water Makes You Beautiful

If beauty is only skin-deep, then drinking up more glasses of water can increase your beauty in a major way.

Drinking sufficient amounts of water over a long period of time can aid in your skin’s cell turnover, so that new cells can come up to the surface, making you look refreshed and glowed up all the time.

Water also helps your body deliver oxygen to your cells all over your body, including your skin, helping your skin appear more youthful, rather than dull and dry.
