Ever since I could remember, I've always heard how important water is for the human being. Staying hydrated is the cure for many problems, so the professionals say. About a month ago, I decided to give it a try. The challenge was to drink a gallon of water every day. After about a month, Here are the things I've noticed.

1) Less Headaches

I noticed this almost immediately. While staying hydrated throughout the day, the number a headaches decreased. Who knew it could be as simple as just drinking water!

2) More Active

Drinking a gallon of water each day will eliminate the groggy and lazy feeling that we all experience. I felt, after a month of doing this, much better when it came to getting up and doing something.

3) Healthy

Everyone needs water in their system. Making sure you have enough is already a great start in terms of staying healthy. How can you expect a car to run without an oil change! Same thing applies to humans and their oil, good ol' water.

4) Clear Urine

Something I've noticed was the disappearance of dark yellow urine. This is a good thing, because the clarity of your urine directly relates to how hydrated you are. This is a good way to determine if you need to drink more water.

5) More Trips To The Bathroom

This isn't necessarily a good thing. I've found myself in the bathroom more times than I'd like. Even sometimes at night, I can't help but wake up at 2 a.m. and stumble to the bathroom. Although the frequent trips suck, it means your body is getting enough water.

I recommend this challenge to everyone. If you don't believe this article, try it for yourself! You can get a gallon of water for under 2 bucks at your local corner store.
