BODY HYDRATION
Muscle tone depends largely upon water. Water
helps give muscles their ability to contract and prevents
dehydration. It also helps prevent the sagging of skin.
Skin cells are buoyed by water which hels "plump the
skin".
Drinking enough water can also help relieve
constipation. When the- body is lacking. water, it-takes
what it needs from organs, primarily the colon, The
result? Constipation. Drinking plenty of water will help
restore normal bowel function.

And remember, the body is constantly producing
wastes, especially during weight loss, Plenty of pure,
clean water will certainly benefit proper waste removal.
