Water: who needs it!

Today in the UK it is 75f which is quite warm for this time of year...lovely..but you must drink water
Becoming a water drinker on a consistent basis will provide a boast to your energy level and it will improve both your mental as well as your physical performance on a day-to-day scale. Drinking plenty of water helps the immune system and toxins are carried out of the body at a much faster rate with the help of this "wonder drug." People who drink lots of water report less headaches and fewer incidences of fainting or dizziness and respiratory problems such as flu's and colds are decreased with the help of water.

It is relevant to note that a person is dehydrated by the time their brain registers thirst. When dehydration takes over, blood takes on a thicker consistency and the body therefore has to work a great deal harder to move blood through the system. When this happens, the brain is less able to focus and concentrate on the work at hand and less activity is noted in the brain's cells. The body then becomes tired and sluggish and this makes getting things done much more difficult.
