1. Helps Keep Skin Young Without water, the skin begins to shrivel up and dry. Prolonged periods of dehydration will exacerbate skin damage and the effects of dry air on the skin. While water won’t cure wrinkles, consistent hydration can help keep skin looking younger and healthier for longer.  2. Increases Skin Elasticity  To increase the skin’s lifespan and reduce stretch marks, drink water. According to Michigan State University, water directly increases the skin’s elasticity. This means that well-hydrated skin can be stretched further without being damaged. In other words, drinking water is like stretching your muscles, only for your skin. 3. Boosts Skin’s Glow Because the skin is comprised of about 64 percent water, it becomes flaky without hydration.

You keep it in the  hydrte bottles  next to your desk and tote it with you to the gym. It’s cool and refreshing, but also kool and stylish. You probably don’t think much about water. And although it’s not a flavorful sports drink or a trendy beverage like coconut water, H20 still packs a little punch of magic. According to a new study of 18,300 American adults published in the  Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics , researchers linked increased water intake to a slew of dietary benefits. Those who bumped their H20 consumption by one, two or three glasses per day ate fewer calories, as well as less saturated fat, sodium, and sugar.
