My obsession with water has gotten out of control – but in a good way! I have tons of water bottles in my room, my school locker and even my bag. I get asked so many different times “how come you drink so much water?” I always tell my friends that “water is way healthier then drinking soda, juice or any other drink that has lots of sugar in it.” Drinking water is extremely beneficial. For starters- water keeps your body hydrated. I find that drinking water also keeps me energized and awake during the day, and it even improves my mood! In fact, everyone should aim to drink 8-10 glasses of water a day.

Here are just a few of the benefits of drinking water:

• Clear skin: Who doesn’t want clear skin? Water can help improve the color and texture of your skin and help flush out toxins.
• Fights colds and flu: Water keeps you hydrated and reduces congestion.
• Weight loss: Drinking water before every meal and throughout the day can help curb your appetite.
