Drinking Water

 As a society we've grown up being told that we're not drinking enough water, so consequently all of us have become more conscious of hydration, which is good. The human body is 60-75% water, so we definitely need to keep our fluid level high. Plus, adequate water intake has been shown to:

* Help the body flush toxins

* Improve the condition of our skin

* Prevent water retention

* Assist in weight loss (by helping you stay full and flushing toxins

* Help all of our internal organs function more efficiently

However, new research also shows that some people are drinking too much water. Called over-hydration, the practice of drinking too much water can cause the salt content in your bloodstream to become diluted. As a result there is less salt available to your body's tissues, which can affect your brain, heart, and muscle function.
