The Health Benefits of Drinking Water

Water is a simple and essential element for our body.

•  The body is made up of between 55 and 75 percent water. Muscle retains more water than fat, therefore, the leaner the body, the higher the percentage of water.

• If you are trying to lose weight, water is useful to help you feel fuller.

• Most people who do not drink enough water on a daily basis have a reduced the ability to feel thirsty.

• A good formula to know how much water is needed is to divide your weight in half, and figure that number  in ounces of water.
