Health benefits of drinking more water every day
Other research shows the health benefits of drinking more water.
Ref: Water, hydration, and health | Nutrition Reviews | Oxford Academic (oup.com)
1. Reduces blood pressure
2. Helps speed up your metabolism
By making you feel a little fuller, generally, you will slightly reduce food intake and speed up metabolism – making it easier to maintain weight.
3. Improves heart function
Even mild dehydration makes your blood vessels less flexible – your heart has to work harder to pump blood around.
4. Increases mental sharpness
Good hydration supports continued mental clarity; not enough water can lead to 'brain fog'.
5. Improves kidney function
Increased water intake helps improve the way your kidneys clear out a potentially toxic protein called myoglobin.
6. Preserves essential potassium and sodium
Too much sodium (salt) is not good, but you do need the right amount of these trace minerals. Good hydration prevents the excess loss of potassium and sodium.
7. Makes your joints function better
Water is a significant constituent part of cartilage. Think of water as providing good lubrication for your joints.
8. Keeps you regular
Many people don't get enough water (and fibre) to prevent constipation.
9. Helps prevent UTIs
If toxins are not removed properly by your kidneys, urinary tract infections can take hold. [Also see 5 above.]
10. Reduces risk of kidney stones
A third kidney-related reason for drinking more water.

I spend my time researching natural healthy living, including the new science of healthy, successful ageing. And how to extend health span rather than just lifespan.

Delay Ageing book explains the ageing process and how you can postpone it
Medical researchers agree that if you slow ageing, you also delay the onset of age-related disease. And we know that it’s not just nutrition. Sleep, reducing stress and cardio and strength exercise are also essential to longevity and ageing well.
My book Delay Ageing: Healthy to 100, published in 2020, explains the latest ageing science in an accessible way.
It’s been rated 5-star and I am sure you will get a lot of benefit from it, as so many have already.
