6 reasons why you should drink water regularly

1. You don’t drink enough water- 6-8 cups of water a day is generally the guideline for water intake a day by the average person although people partaking in regular exercise should look to drink more than this.  Coffee and tea don’t count as your water for the day.
2. Water gets rid of toxins- water gets rid of toxins you get from coffee and alcohol also drinking water helps the kidneys do their job, so if your having a high protein diet this will really help as your kidneys are doing alot of work.
3. Water prevents fluid retention- despite what you would think when you drink water regularly it makes you hold less water as your body doesn’t need to store as much as it knows its getting water regularly. 
4. Aids digestion- regular drinking of water helps the digestion process and if you are eating lots of protein throughout the day this is very important as the body can often struggle digesting all this food.
5. Metabolizing fat- When you don’t drink enough water the kidneys can’t function properly.  When this occurs this job is passed to the liver.  The liver metabolizes the fat into energy.  if the liver takes over the kidneys job less fat is burned so you store more fat.
6. Salt and water retention- the higher intake of salt you have the more the body tries to retain water to dilute the the salt.
