Many people know that water is “healthy” for them. But for most, this is simply not compelling enough to create a change that is permanent and profound.

And a lack of compelling information is going to produce suboptimal levels of compliance.

So here are some pointers to get you motivated to drink more water:

1. It keeps your mind sharp: And not just processing speeds, but also mood. So if you aren’t drinking enough, your mood will deteriorate to the point that everything seems ever so difficult. The good news is that all you have to do is drink more.

2. It lubricates your joints: The structure that keeps joints working properly, cartilage, is non renewable. In other words, once it wears out there is no way to get it back. Thus, if you want a long life of fitness, keeping your joints lubricated is essential.

3. It helps your body dissipate heat: Increases in heat are the primary causes of fatigue in the exercising body. And one of the main reasons fitness buffs lose their energy is because they become dehydrated too quickly. Even worse, caffeine accelerates this process.

4. It facilitates transport of nutrients between cells: Keep in mind that all processes in your body happen in aqueous environments. In fact, most of your body is made of water. So if you are even slightly dehydrated, things don’t function as well as they should.

5. It aids digestion: One of the best ways to facilitate digestion of a meal is to have water beforehand. You see, water lubricates food as it passes through your digestive tract. So if you are well hydrated, food goes through your system much easier.

6. It helps you get rid of waste: Your colon uses water to excrete food waste. And in worst case scenarios, people eat lots of fiber while undergoing extreme dehydration. Unfortunately, this can lead to food being stuck in your intestine.

Simply increasing water intake because it’s “healthy” for you is not a compelling enough reason for most people. So take action on the advice in this article!
