Why should we drink more water?

We are always told we should drink more water especially during the summer months. But why?
Here are some reasons that you may not have been aware of.
1. Water helps transport nutrients and oxygen to our body's cells and carries waste and toxins away
2. Water acts as a lubricant for our joints! It's helps reduce stiffness and enables us to move more easily.
3. Water helps regulate our body's temperature and keeps us cool in hot weather through persipration
4. Water stimulates our brains! Our body is 60% water and our brain needs water to function properly. So if you find yourself unable to focus or experiencing headaches, reach for a glass of water instead of caffeine!
Stay active and anything is possible!
