It helps us regulate body temperature. Dehydration leads to our bodies storing more heat, which lowers our ability to handle these hot summer temperatures.

Consuming water is a natural form of detoxing. When we drink plenty of water, our bodies are better able to flush out harmful substances in our body through perspiration, urination, bowel movements, and breathing. Staying hydrated is the key to supporting our overall health. To ensure you are providing your body with enough fluid, the U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine recommends men drink about 3.7 liters of fluid daily and women drink about 2.7 liters of water.
Hydration keeps you energized. When our bodies become dehydrated, our circulation slows, which can lead to a decrease of oxygen flow to our brain. This makes our hearts work double-time to pump more oxygen. That expended energy can lead to feeling tired, worn down, and sluggish. When we are amply hydrated, our energy levels are boosted!
