7 Health benefits of drinking water

Some people can’t live without their glass of water handy at all times, and others have to set an alarm in order to remember to drink water. Most people are somewhere between those two extremes but the truth is we all need water, and most of us don’t get as much as we should. As a way to motivate ourselves, let’s take a quick look at just a few of the wonderful things water does.

Water helps:

• prevent constipation
• reduce headaches
• improve urine elimination
• normalize blood pressure
• cushion joints
• clear skin/reduce signs of aging
• normalize blood pressure

We all need water to survive, but some people need more water than others, so you should check with your doctor. Some people take medication that retains water in the body, other people might have health conditions that limit their water intake.

Besides drinking plenty of water, good nutrition is crucial to reinforcing the body's natural defenses. StemFoods Holistics has a complete line of supplements that provide superfood extracts and other natural ingredients that support a healthy metabolism.

Staying hydrated (through water, not sodas or fruit juices) is an inexpensive and readily available way to help the body run smoothly. Most healthy people need about 4-6 cups of water a day, which is very doable if you keep a glass of water within sight. Believe it or not, a lot of people forget to drink water. If you’re one of those people (and your doctor has cleared you for water intake) try keeping your favorite water container nearby as you go about your day. You will soon create the habit and your body will thank you.
