We are always stressing the importance of hydration but when I ran across this image online I was taken back by how much of a difference it really makes!   Preaching about water and weight loss is one thing but water and aging is another!    Both of these images are the same woman, one month apart.   The only difference is her water consumption.   No fancy creams or treatments, just 3 liters of water daily.   This fitness tip will make you think twice about how much water impacts aging and overall health!

The beauty of drinking enough water is that it allows your organs to function the way they were intended to.  You flush toxins and perform chemical reactions more easily with less stress on your body.   When all of these processes are working well, the body can focus energy on renewing the body and the cells.    This woman from the UK was plagued with digestion issues, headaches, and low energy.   She wanted to change that so she decided to try drinking 3 liters of water a day.  Her results we more then she bargained for.

Benefits of Drinking More Water 

• More energy
• Clearer thoughts
• Increased flexibility
• Natural weight loss, and less hunger
• Full body hydration
• Body detoxification
• Clearer skin
• Skin rejuvenation and increase in elasticity
• Regular trips to the restroom
• No headaches
• Decreased cellulite

Along with these results, Sarah also lost inches and weight.   She effortlessly lost 2 pounds over the course of 4 weeks.   Not bad for just drinking more water!    So what was she drinking before?   Her average intake of water was only one third (one liter) of her new improved amount (3 liters).

Here’s a quick break down of what she experienced week by week.

Week Two: The blotches on my face are diminishing and the shadows around my eyes less pronounced

Week Three: My skin looks plumper and more nourished

Week Four: I am going to keep on drinking three litres of water every day

I feel fitter, leaner and healthier, and my husband and friends tell me I look ten years younger. Who in their right mind would not want to try something which gets such incredible results?” (source)
