7 Reasons Why Drinking Water Is Important-By Mr.Fitbiz

1) Coolant - Water the bodies natural temperature coolant.  Our bodies use water to regulate our natural 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit body temperature via sweating. A hot temperature, or inactivity, can raise our bodies temperature quickly. 

2) Cleansing - Our bodies digest food and create waste.  Water carries waste out of the body, stems constipation in the colon, and flushes your system of toxins and excess water your body has been holding on to as a result of not being adequately hydrated.

3) Healthy Organs - Water is vital to kidney and liver function by clearing out toxins. Water is a carrier of bacterial wastes, that can build up over time in organs.   

4) Weight loss - If you’re looking to lose weight, water is ingredient number one.  Water is beneficial to your metabolic system, can help you feel fuller both before and after a meal and aids in food digestion by making it easier for the body to process nutrients.

5) Brain - Water makes up more than 70% of the brain and a lack of water can affect your ability to think straight. Brain cells require a delicate balance between water and various elements to operate effectively. Fluid also protects the brain inside the skull.

6) Clearer skin - Water can give you a radiant, healthy, younger- looking complexion. Your skin is the bodies biggest organ and water is natures best skin moisturizer!  

7)  Joints and muscles - Joints are like a sponge between your bones. The more lubricated they are, the less stress you put on the joints.  As mentioned earlier, water also allows waste to be flushed out of the joint areas.  Water is a major component of muscle make-up, so it's no secret that you need to keep drinking water to construct healthy muscles and allow for mineral storage.
