Water is essential for life.  You can live without food for weeks but only a few days without water.  Water  is critical for kidney function, gut motility, brain function and every chemical reaction in our bodies.  If you choose no other healthy habits in 2015, then at least commit to increasing your water intake. You will be less hungry, less wrinkly, have more energy and therefore be much happier when you’re hydrated.  So drink up!
