          Why drink Water? Does it affect your hair? Skin? Nails?

Do you drink enough water? Did you know that the amount of water that you drink each day matters? While many people don’t take this into consideration, water intake can determine the health of your hair, skin, nails and normal bodily functions. 

Humans are supposed to drink about 8 eight ounce glasses of water a day to provide the body with essential hydration. The reasons for many problems people have with their hair and skin can be attributed to a lack of water intake.

Some of the positive effects of a normal water intake are listed below.

•   Cells that are provided with enough water will assist in strengthening hair and providing essential nutrients throughout the body.
•   Normal water intake can reduce dry skin. This includes dandruff, chapped lips, and cracking skin. While the effects are not immediate, over time the dry skin will heal as long as water intake stays constant
•   Water can assist with flushing the body of chemicals.
•  Normal water intake can assist with digestion and bowel movements.

In conclusion, healthy water intake can lead to an overall strong body, which will promote healthy skin and hair. Without the necessary water, this can lead to a body plagued by the lack of exposure to water. Drinking water in conjunction with good haircare and skincare products can give you that radiant look.
