In this infographic we explore the many health benefits of water.

Do you regularly suffer from headaches and fatigue? Oftentimes what many of us regard as the effects of a hard day at work are actually symptoms of dehydration. Despite the fact that many countries have more access to clean drinking water than ever before, a shockingly high amount of people fail to drink enough water in order to maintain healthy hydration levels.

On average, we lose 2.6 litres of water every single day through by breathing, sweating, and digesting. Therefore, it’s important to replenish our water levels throughout the day to stay healthy. Failing to keep on top of this can result in fatigue, headaches and dizziness. What’s more, research has also revealed that water is important for performance. In fact, we only need to be dehydrated by about 1 – 2% dehydration for our cognitive performance and motor function to suffer and this can have a negative impact on our energy levels, mood, and attention.

Study after study has highlighted the integral role played by water as part of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Drinking water aids our blood circulation, regulates body temperature and keeps joints moving. It also keeps us looking good by giving the skin a beautiful glow.
