Getting enough water every day is important for health. Drinking water can prevent dehydration, which may cause unclear thinking, mood change, overheating, constipation, and kidney stones. Water has no calories, so replacing sugary drinks with plain water can help reduce caloric intake.
Water helps your body:
-
Keep a normal temperature.
-
Lubricate and cushion joints.
-
Protect your spinal cord and other sensitive tissues.
-
Get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements.
-
Your body needs more water when you are:
-
In hot climates.
-
More physically active.
-
Running a fever.
-
Having diarrhea or vomiting.
Meeting your water intake every day
Daily water intake recommendations vary by age, sex, pregnancy status, activity level, and breastfeeding status. Daily water intake is mostly from water and other beverages. Foods, especially those with high water content such as many fruits and vegetables, can also add to fluid intake.
Tips to drink more water
-
Carry a reusable water bottle with you.
-
Freeze water in freezer-safe bottles for ice-cold water all day.
-
Choose water over sugary drinks.
-
Opt for water when eating out.
-
Serve water during meals.
-
Add a wedge of lime or lemon to your water.

The Benefits of Drinking Water
The Difference between Skincare and Makeup Routines
The first thing to understand is that skincare is for the health and benefit of the deeper layers of your skin, while makeup is for color and design of the top surface of your skin.
Easy Skincare Routines:
Cleanser is what you’ll use to wash your face and it’s important to use a product intended for your face – not just whatever bar or body wash you have lying around. You’ll want to wash your face gently and take care not to scrub too hard. Then, rinse with warm water, because hot water removes natural oils and causes your skin to become dehydrated.
Toner
Toner is applied after washing your face and can smooth, soften and calm skin. Toners often contain ingredients that replenish and restore nutrients to your skin and can diminish redness and dry patches.
Moisturizer
Like cleansers, moisturizers are for everyone and should be used every time you wash your face. And like cleansers, a little trial and error is totally normal when you’re looking for the right one – oily skin, for example, can benefit from lightweight, oil-free or gel products. Moisturizers prevent your skin from drying out, leaving your skin hydrated and smooth. They are most effective when applied while your skin is slightly damp to seal in moisture.
Sunscreen - Day
Some moisturizers include SPF, but it doesn’t hurt to double up with sunscreen as well – particularly if your moisturizer has an SPF below 30. By now, you should know the lines well: Apply sunscreen every day, even when it’s gray or cold, even when you’re covered up. When you are exposed, reapply every two hours. Make sure your sunscreen protects against both UVA and UVB rays. If skin cancer and sun damage aren’t enough to convince you, UV exposure is also the number one cause of wrinkles, uneven skin tone, loss of firmness and aging signs.
