Water is life! This combination of hydrogen and oxygen literary sustains our body and even our planet. This planet might in fact be better named “Water” than Earth, seeing as around 70% of the earth’s surface is covered with water. The human body consists of around 60% water. With this in mind, most health experts recommend people to drink at least half a (U.S.) gallon of water every day (i.e. the 8 ounces x 8 times rule). Read on for 8 reasons to drink 8 ounces of water 8 times a day.

1. Weight Loss: No sugar, no carbs, no calories, no fats – water is the ideal compound for weight loss. It has also been shown to increase metabolism and increase satiety. ^[1][2]

2. Heart Health: The Heart Foundation insists that water is important in regulating blood pressure, heart rate, and blood circulation. ^[3] Therefore, staying hydrated lowers your risk of heart attacks.

3. Energy Boost: Dehydration can sap your energy and make you feel tired. Loosing 1-3% of your body fluids through dehydration has been linked to feelings of fatigue and impaired concentration. ^[4][5]

4. Natural Headache Relief: Headaches are often associated with dehydration. Several studies recommend the consumption of water to help with headaches. ^[6]

5. Healthy Skin: Water clears up your skin and gives you a healthy glow. Researchers claim that it affects skin biomechanics and hydration. ^[7]

6. Better Exercise: In a study published by the Sports Medicine Journal, researchers found that dehydration can severely diminish your athletic performance – i.e., endurance, power, and strength. ^[8]

7. Digestive Problems: Water can help calm stomach acid. It has also been linked to a lower risk of constipation. ^[9]

8. Cleansing: Water is used by the body to help flush waste and toxins. ^[10] It helps transport waste products, allowing body cells to function optimally.
