You body is mainly water, so it makes sense that it requires continued hydration. However, most doctors only 'require' you to drink eight cups per day (64 ounces) or half your body weight in ounces! Drinking more than the required amount can give you so many extra benefits that you don't realize you need until you get! After only a week of the challenge, it is almost guaranteed that you will look and feel noticeably different and healthier! So why not try?
1. You will have more energy!
GiphyMost people are under the assumption that the only drinks that can provide energy are the ones that contain caffeine. However, water hydrates your body and mind, allowing them to be refreshed and energized all throughout the day without any caffeine or sugary drinks.
2. You will feel full faster!
GiphyDrinking water is one of the easiest dieting tricks! By drinking a gallon a day, your body will be under the illusion that it is full longer and faster, so that you end up not eating as much and less frequently!
3. Your skin will start to clear up!
GiphyNow, drinking a gallon of water a day won't magically erase all of your pimples, but it definitely helps! Along with a proper skin care routine and no extra sugary drinks or foods, your skin should be in pretty good shape!
4. Workouts will be at least a little easier to get through!
GiphyKeeping your body hydrated is so important when exercising. If your body is well hydrated, you are less likely to get fatigued as quickly and not as likely to experience cramping.
5. Avoid unnecessary calories!
GiphyAnother beneficial diet tip is to not drink your calories! Drinking a gallon of water a day allows you to keep your calories for more yummy food.
