If you don’t already have a sweet water bottle that you love, it might be time to invest. We’ve found some convincing reasons for you to knock back more H2O.
Water’s the most popular beverage in the U.S., according to data from the Beverage Marketing Corporation. This is an encouraging stat, because as recently as 2016, carbonated soft drinks took the top spot.
Sugary drinks are a huge health hazard, upping the risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and other health problems.
Choosing water over soda, juices, and other sugar-laden “soft drinks” can reduce your risk. Plus, it has a bunch of benefits for your body — even some you might not expect. Take a look.
1. Keeping in balance: Water makes up about 60 percent of your body. Drinking enough H2O maintains your body’s fluid balance, which helps with nutrient transportation, temperature regulation, digestion, and more.
2. Munch control: Drinking water could also help with weight loss. Studies have found a connection between water consumption and losing a few pounds. The secret reason? Water simply helps people feel full and, as a result, consume fewer calories.
3. Muscle fuel: Sweating at the gym causes your muscles to lose water. And when your muscles don’t have enough water, they get tired. For extra energy or to push through that final set of squats, try simply refilling your water bottle and taking a few slugs.

4. Kidney helper: Your kidneys process about 150 quarts of blood daily, sifting out waste and transporting urine to your bladder. But they need the right amount of water to clear out the stuff your body doesn’t need. Let’s drink to that!
5. Productivity boost: A glass of water may be just what you need to really focus at work. Research has shown that even mild dehydration can have negative effects on attention and memory.
Plus, the more you drink, the more often you’ll need to take bathroom breaks. Those quick walks to the loo will help you stay alert, too.
6. Fatigue buster: Move over, coffee — water can also help fight fatigue. One of the most common symptoms of dehydration is tiredness. Just another reason to go for the big gulp! (Not the 7-11 kind.)
7. Hangover helper: If booze has gotten the best of you, help a hangover with a glass of water to hydrate your body and stop that pounding headache.
8. Keep things flowing: Nobody wants to deal with digestion issues. Research has shown that dehydration contributes to constipation in some people, so drinking more water may help make things, ahem, move smoothly.
9. Sickness fighter: Water may help with decongestion when you’re feeling under the weather. But drinking fluids hasn’t been scientifically proven to beat colds, so don’t swap this for a trip to the doctor or other cold remedies.
10. Brainwasher: A 2013 study found a link between students bringing water into an exam room and better grades, suggesting H2O promotes clearer thinking.
While it’s unclear whether drinking the water really had anything to do with getting a better score, it doesn’t hurt to try it out!
Bottoms up: Your action plan
The amount of water we need is up for debate, but the Institute of Medicine recommends 9 to 13 cups per day for adults. Your needs vary depending on your activity level, your age, and how much water you consume in coffee, tea, or water-rich veggies and fruit.
Here’s how to keep yourself hydrated: Drink a glass of water as soon as you wake up and a glass 30 minutes before eating any big meal. This will help control your appetite, too, if that’s something you’re looking for.
Get in the habit of keeping a water bottle on hand at all times. If the taste begins to bore you, try adding a squeeze of citrus or infusing water with other flavours.
Before you know it, all the benefits of water will be right at your fingertips… and in your body.

2. Borehole Drilling Depth: The exact depth, of where the water is located, cannot be established by the drilling contractor nor the Water Surveyor (Borehole Siter).
3. The Is No 100% Guarantee On Water: It is important to note that it is never a 100% guarantee that any hole will yield water, the amount and water quality can also not be guaranteed by the drilling contractor and water surveyor.
4. Borehole Siting or Water Surveying Is Important: Making use of a hydrologist or traditional water diviner will increase your chances of having a successful borehole that will yield a sufficient amount of water.
