As I said in my introductory, water helps flushing waste in our body. Water is also used to sweat, to urinate and for bowel movement. When we drink water, we get sweat but sweat regulates our y temperature when we do physical activities or in the warm temperatures. Water also helps our kidney as it filters the waste through urination. Water intakes helps our kidney to function well and to prevent kidney stones.

ALWAYS STAY HEALTHY AND HYDRATEDThe question is, are we drinking enough water for our body?
Drinking enough water daily is important for our body and health. Do not drink water when the reason is we're only thirsty, drink water because we need it.
But how much is enough?
Based on the article of healthline.com and according to the National Academis of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicines, general water intake (from all beverages and foods) that meet most people’s needs are:
about 15.5 cups of water (125 ounces) each day for men
about 11.5 cups (91 ounces) daily for women
People get about 20 percent of their daily water intake from food. The rest is dependent on drinking water and water-based beverages. So, ideally men would consume about 100 ounces (3.0 liters) of water from beverages, and women, about 73 ounces (2.12 liters) from beverages.
DON'T WORRY FOR NOT DRINKING ENOUGH WATER YESTERDAY, WE STILL HAVE TODAYWater intake can also affect the color of our urine.

Self love is also important because we care about ourselves and we care about our body. So always have a bottled water preferably the reusable to also help protect our environment. Keep in mind that health is wealth. ALWAYS STAY HYDRATED.
PS. I recently watched a clip of a doctor teaching the importance of drinking of water. He said that, the reason why we get headache or other body complications is that we don't drink enough water for our body. But don't drink too much, only drink what you really can and see the details above about the daily water intake.
Hope you guys enjoy it.
