Beauty Friday:This is probably one of the best summer advices you will ever get... DRINK WATER!!!

 I know, I know, it might sound overrated and it might be, but your body really needs it!  60% of us, is water, if there wasn't enough, how do you think our body would work properly?!

 
It's summer, the temperature is rising and it will for sure get hotter as we get closer to the middle. On a daily basis our body uses water for many processes, specially your cells. They need water in order to be able to do their job. Also, blood carries oxygen, nutrients and waste products. Imagine your blood being all dense an unable to move. All the good things would be harder to get by the cell and all the bad things would be harder to unload by the cells. You would end up with a big bloody mess, weak cells and they wouldn't be able to do their work properly.
 
That said, here are some benefits you can get from drinking water:
 
1. Lose weight. Drinking enough water will substitute other drinks high on sugar and empty calories.
 

2. Your skin will look better. When skin is dehydrated it looks wrinkly and dull. Stay hydrated to have a nest summer glow!!
 

3. Keeps your body waste free. The kidneys are the filters of the body, they take out many toxic substances and stuff  you don't need on your blood. Which means you end up being healthier inside. The sufficient intake of water also regulates bowel movements, which is another way of your body getting rid of unnecessary products.
 

4. Avoid a kidney stone!! Most of us know at least one person who has had kidney stones, and it's very well known that it hurts. Some people are more likely to develop stones in their kidneys than others and by different causes. What is no secret is that drinking enough fluids will decrease the likelyhood of crystals binding together and forming the infamous stone. Also you might excrete it (in case it's already there) before it causes trouble.
 
How to know you're hydrated? Your urine is the key. When you're taking enough water, your urine is light and almost odorless. The lighter the better. And chill, if you think you're over hydrated, your kidneys will get rid of the water you don't need.
