Water is necessary for your body to digest and absorb
 
vitamins and nutrients. It also detoxifies the liver and
 
kidneys, and carries away waste from the body. And when
 
it comes to digestion it's just not happening without
 
water. Drinking water is important if you're trying to
 
lose weight, some studies have shown that thirst and
 
hunger sensations are triggered together. If there is a
 
slight dehydration the thirst mechanism may be mistaken
 
for hunger and one may eat when the body is actually
 
craving fluid. As most food contains some water, if one
 
doesn't drink much they may be subconsciously driven to
 
eat more to gain the necessary water supply however, you
 
also gain the undesired effects of increased calorie
 
consumption. Drinking more water can help to prevent
 
overeating and benefit weight loss. Also, if you drink
 
water every time you're hungry instead of eating, it can
 
often substitute for high calorie food! It is better to
 
drink smaller quantities of water more frequently than
 
to drink a lot of water at one time. It is recommended
 
to drink 8 to 12 oz a day and if you have not been
 
drinking water regularly, you should double the
 
recommended amount because your cells are already
 
dehydrated. Make sure that you don't too much drink
 
water in the morning prior to beginning any physical
 
activity. Our skin is comprised of 90% water. And so
 
without the right amount of water to keep that level,
 
the skin tends to be unhealthy and dry. In fact,
 
dehydration does not affect the skin alone, but the rest
 
of the body as well, including the vital organs like
 
kidneys and lungs.
