Benefits of drinking water?

[milkyman]

I am trying to drink more water - what have people found the benefits of this if they have upped their intake?

Glowing skin, it can aid weight loss also helps digest food.

It's a massive myth perpetuated by the bottled water industry.

Much much nicer skin (less breakouts, less dry/ flaky, less oily t-zone, better colour- not so ashey looking), dark circles under eyes lighter, better digestion,better sleep (because more water, less cola, less caffeine I think), lost a stone (because much less hungry), more energy, less painful periods, shinier hair.

That's all just off the top of my head. There's probably more but it's the best thing I've done for a long time.

Oh one more, saved money, water is by far the cheapest thing to drink, even taking into account the cost of filters.

I also don't drink bottled water, just plain tap water put through a brita filter, maybe with a slice of lemon in it

Far less bloatedness, less hungry, clearer skin.
It needn't be bottled, tap is fine

I find it fills me up when I am feeling peckish and I have lost weight.
I drink around 3L of water a day (up from about 750ml) and my skin is now far better, my eyes look brighter and I just feel good.

I don't drink bottles either. I tend to filter and keep in a lidded glass fridge hug.

I drink tap water. Clear skin. Less headaches. No dry lips!

More steps from going back and forth to the toilet?

Skin more balanced (less dry/oily patches), digestive system seems less sluggish

I drink tap water and only ever get a bottle to replace the one I use to top me up throughout the day.

I drink about 3 litres a day. Clear skin, no dry patches, less headaches and less generally feeling crap. Curbs hunger and keeps my kidneys happy!

If I don't drink enough I truely feel rubbish and brain dead.

Less bloating and less headaches. I now drink about 1.5 litres a day (huge improvement as all I drank before was coffee). I drink an extra 1.5 on gym days but that's only twice a week. I don't buy bottled and it's not even filtered just straight from the tap. Haven't noticed a big difference in my skin but then I have rosacea so likely stuck with this mess of a face, water or no water

I drink loads of tap water. It helps my skin (I have acne). I find I feel quite ill if I don't drink enough, I get headaches etc. Being well hydrated also stops me wanting to snack.

I have been drinking more water the last few weeks and my skin is so much better.
I dont like cold water so drink hot water with a slice of lemon. About 8 mugs a day.

I look at the difference in my drought ridden house plants with drooping leaves after they've had a drink and think that's what water does to the cells in my body (if I drank more of it!) - plump up the skin/lessen appearance of wrinkly bits

Better for kidneys - you wee a lot at first and it seems pointless to drink it in the first place but apparently that settles down after a couple of weeks

I always drink loads on holiday and feel loads better for it - more energy etc

Snopes

"And as other nutritionists of the time noted, any shortfall in water intake could be made up through the consumption of beverages such as coffee, tea, milk, or soft drinks; one need not specifically drink water only in the form of water."

It makes me look fresher.

Helps skin look and feel better. Helps avoid niggling dehydration headaches. I drink a glass of water if peckish and often find that feeling goes - I was thirsty not hungry.
