The Real, The Only Detox
Imagine this: no fruit juice, no coffee, no wine, no beer... All you get to drink is water.
If the idea of giving up all your favorite beverages sounds insufferable, just take a look at all the amazing changes you'll feel when you stick to only water...
- Your Brain — Your brain requires a delicate balance of water and nutrients to operate. When your cells are thirsty and that balance is disrupted, your mental functions slow down, forcing the brain to strain to continue working as usual. Drinking more water will provide you with batter focus, clarity, memory, and the ability to think faster.
- Your Skin — Your skin is 30% water. When you're dehydrated, your skin becomes drier and any wrinkles more visible. Drinking water will hydrate and nourish your skin, making you look younger and fresher.
- A Natural Painkiller — Maintaining a good balance of fluids in the body helps it function properly, and painlessly. Staying hydrated helps prevent and ease headaches, migraines, stress, and poor sleep.
- A Healthy Heart — Drinking at least 5 glasses of water per day halves the risk of developping heart disease. It also helps improve blood circulation!
- Fuels Metabolism and Weight Loss — Research has shown that drinking water can increase your metabolism by 30%, helping you burn through calories and fat faster. Also, drinking water before, during and after meals can help you feel more satiatated.
- Detoxes You and Strengthens Your Immune System — The human body expels waste through urine and sweat. Drinking water helps the body dispose of the substances it does not need faster.
- Keeps You Regular — Water helps improve bowel movement, promoting regularity and easing constipation problems.
- Gives You Energy — Do you ever feel tired for no particular reason? You could be dehydrated! Even if you haven't been exercising or sweating, you still need to drink water to stay hydrated. Even just a 1-2% reduction in daily water intake can cause fatigue.
Basically, drinking only water can change your life. Better brain? Better heart? More energy? Pour us a tall glass of some of that!
