So, what are all the benefits of water, anyhow?

Question

i was looking through certain questions relating to some that i had (pertaining to physical health) and a lot had answers saying that water was the key. apparently, it keeps lips from drying out, and it keeps redness out of eyes. i heard it may also help prevent alzheimers. what other little things does water do for one's health? besides keeping a person hydrated :). does it clear up skin, too? i don't drink a whole lot of water, but i should probably get started right now!

Answer 1

Water is awesome.

A lot of research has shown that people tend to be in a chronically dehydrated state. Studies have shown that by simply increasing water intake alone, it lowers the risk for a variety of diseases.

Drink up.
