It may improve memory and mood
Research has shown that even mild dehydration can impair memory and mood in everyone from children to the elderly.
It can help reduce sugar cravings and aid weight maintenance
The brain can’t actually tell the difference between hunger and thirst, so often we can mistake thirst as a ‘sugar craving’. The next time you feel the need for something sweet, try drinking a glass of water first.
Staying hydrated may also help with weight maintenance. Research has shown that having water before a meal may fill you up more and therefore promote weight loss by eating less at the meal. This is also true in a 2015 study that swapped diet drinks for water. The results showed this may lead to greater weight reduction and also improved insulin resistance.
It may improve exercise performance
There has been a lot of research into the effects of hydration or dehydration in athletes, and the results all pretty much conclude that dehydration not only affects sports performance but also physiological function too.
It may reduce headaches and migraines
A lack of water may increase the risk of a headache or migraines in some individuals.
It may help prevent constipation in children and adults
Water helps to ‘keep things moving’ in the digestive system, and so staying hydrated can help prevent constipation in children, adults and the elderly.
There is some evidence that fizzy water may be of particular benefit too.
Drinking water has lots of benefit and you mentioned most of it. Well done dear
