Top Tips on Tuesdays: Drink up



We all know that it is important to drink lots of water. However some of us (until now me included) don't know why our body needs so much  water.

Did you know that drinking water helps with losing weight? This is because it replaces all the sugar and calories that are in fizzy or sweet drinks. Water of course doesn't contain carbohydrates, fat, sugar or calories.

Water gives us energy. If we don't drink water we get dehydrated which can lead to dizziness and feeling very tired and weak.

Alot of the time when we have a headache it is because we are dehydrated. So it is important to drink lots of water.

If you want healthy glowing skin along with other things you should drink water. I know for a fact that drinking water will improve your skin. You won't see results over night, however if you drink alor of water each day you will see a difference in about a week.

Water is needed to digest our food properly. Water can help to cure stomach problems and I know it's disgusting to think about but it can cure constipation which is caused by dehydration.

It is important to drink water because it cleanses our body by getting rid of the toxins that we have in our body.

Water is very important when we exercise. Make sure you are hydrated, not only before exercise but also during and after.  This is because being dehydrated while exercising puts strain on your body and this means that you won't be able to exercise at your best.

So the next time you're thirsty and you pick up a sweet or fizzy drink think about replacing it with water.
I know it's boring and I much prefer drinking coke or Iced Tea, but water is so good for us and it is an essential.
