Water is Life

Water is essential in all life forms. It is needed for the different body systems to function properly.
An average of 6-8 (8 oz.) glasses of water should be consumed everyday to ensure proper hydration. A well-hydrated person has clear, healthy, glowing skin. It helps in the detoxification and cleansing of the skin by getting rid of impurities and toxins inside the body. Drinking the right amount of water also helps in maintaining a good muscle tone. You can see that a skin is elastic and supple when a person has enough hydration.
In contrast, a dehydrated individual has a dry, cracked skin and has early signs of aging visible in the skin. Inadequate water intake can also lead to breakout of acne and pimples.
It is good practice to drink water regularly throughout the day. There is no need to wait until you feel thirsty.
