4 Reasons Why Water is the Best Beverage
By Jennifer Landis
August 21, 2016
It’s crazy to think that something as ubiquitous as water is of such great value to you. But, it’s true. Water is vital in your quest for overall health. You lose water constantly as the day goes on, through sweating and evaporation, going to the bathroom, even by breathing—every sip you take goes to replenish your supply of this life-giving liquid. After all, a substance that makes up nearly two-thirds of the human body has to be important.
There are more reasons why water is important, though—it’s more than just part of your body’s make-up. The following four truths show that most of your other beverage options can’t quite compare to water. Read on and start sipping.
1. Sugary beverages are really bad
Water quenches your thirst without adding any additional calories onto your daily tally. When you veer into juices, sodas, and coffee-based drinks, you run the risk of putting on hundreds of calories to your end-of-the-day numbers.
As you can imagine, this additional load of sugar and calories does nothing to help your body. For one, you’re likely to gain weight because of it; you also increase your risk of developing diabetes and cardiovascular disease down the line.
The sugar can even become addictive. One study looked at rats that first became addicted to cocaine through an IV. Once researchers introduced them to sugar, most of the rodents dropped their initial addiction in favor of the sweeter option.
If you’re ready to break your own addiction to sugary beverages, start small — you’ll still see results even if you drop one drink from your regular rotation. Over time, you can continue to wean yourself off of sugary drinks and reap the rest of water’s body-bettering benefits.
2. It improves your mood
It’s hard to believe, but being just the slightest bit dehydrated can have a big effect on your mood. Researchers at the University of Connecticut put this theory to the test by putting participants through a series of cognitive tests; half of them were dehydrated, while the others were hydrated.
The results showed the dehydrated women felt fatigued, had headaches, and had a hard time concentrating on the tasks; they suffered no reduction in cognitive ability. The men did, though, especially tasks relating to vigilance and memory.
Dehydration can strike anywhere, too, so don’t skim over this tip if you’re not an active person. Your mood at the office, for example, can also be affected by a lack of water, so get a big water bottle for your desk and sip, sip, sip.
3. It helps you lose weight
Water is potentially the most important tool when it comes to weight loss. Those who consciously drink water while consciously losing weight find the task to be a bit easier. That could be because water makes them feel fuller, which prevents overeating or feelings of hunger that throw diets off course. Whether you drink steadily throughout the day or down a glass before a meal, you’ll find you feel more satisfied if you’re hydrated.
Drinking water has also been linked to an increased metabolism One study showed that subjects who drank water saw a 30% increase in their metabolic rate. The boost started 10 minutes after drinking water and hit its peak after about 30 minutes. Imagine the power water could have if you drank it all day long.
Finally, water can help you lose weight in out-of-the-box ways, too. Imagine, for example, that you can’t work out in a traditional gym because you have joint pain. In that situation, you could take your workouts into the pool, where water relaxes sores muscles and boosts your buoyancy, thus making movement easier than it would be otherwise. The gentle environment doesn’t mean that you won’t be burning calories or building muscle, either; in other words, don’t write off aquatics workouts just yet.
4. It keeps things running well
Being well hydrated by drinking water helps the kidneys clear wastes and toxins and helps you avoid constipation.
This list has only scratched the surface as far as water’s benefits go. You can find water in just about everything you eat and drink. But one thing is for sure, your best bet is making sure to get as much of it in its true form as you can so that it can do its job in the purest way possible.
Your health and happiness will thank you for it. -
2019-05-19 at 12:25 AM UTCHmm. Orange-Mango juice combo. Orange juice will do too, or Mango. And i guess milkshakes are pretty dope.

2019-05-19 at 12:47 AM UTCI was at CRAVE bar while killing time one day, but didn't have my ID so I said fuck it and ordered something called a "Mintberry Fizz", and OH MY GOD it was fucking good.
The bartender had to make it weird though. "So how's that mintberry fi-" Go fuck yourself. -
2019-05-19 at 3:33 AM UTCIf it contains neither alcohol nor caffeine, then I'll pass. I'll take water.
Now, that being said, I do enjoy the taste of root beer. I also like Pepsi (and for some reason really dislike Coke).
Once every so often I'll indulge in one of the two.
But 99% of the time, whatever liquids I ingest serve a purpose (besides taste):
1. Inducing drunkenness.
2. Inducing stimulation.
3. Hydration. -
2019-05-19 at 7 AM UTCsorry.. didn't see answer| edit off

2019-05-19 at 7:04 AM UTCThe honest answer is probably water but it makes me feel old and like the most boring person alive. If I'm not trying to get drunk, I'm trying to Q U E N C H dat thirst, and water is the OG thirst quencher. Coconut water is pretty dope though, bonus points if it has pulpy chunks of coconut flesh. Also green tea arizonas.

2019-05-19 at 11:30 AM UTCI love Arizona green tea! Yum!
I hate to admit it because I know it’s bad for me, but I drink Diet Coke like crazy, then come evening it’s water, about 64ozs every night.
I need to switch over to tea, but I hate unsweetened tea, and I don’t want a bunch of sugar either. Idk -
2019-05-19 at 12:03 PM UTCI drink coffee almost every day, not that I'm dependent on it. Otherwise water, mcdonalds sweet tea, coca cola seldomly.

Is this Night Water thing a new trend to lose weight and flush your system out. How many times to you wake up in the night to take a piss? I'm afraid that much water at night will hurt your kidney.s I mean if you're chugging it in a 1-2 hour time period.
Don't get me wrong, Water all day long is good for you but you don't want to flush your electrolytes out which might hurt the adrenal glands and get adrenal fetique. -
2019-05-19 at 4:23 PM UTCIs there a diet Arizona tea? I see people slamming those things all the time. Someone joked as it being the Ghetto Redbull. I can't drink redbulls anymore but diet latte or espresso is ok. in moderation. Or just house blend.

2019-05-19 at 4:27 PM UTCIt’s not some type of diet for me, just like having a beverage nearby, and I don’t wanna drink pop in the evening.
Meh, I pee one or two times a night, then right back to sleep, no biggie/ -

Have you ever been so warm and cozie that you said "fuck it I will hold my pee in" rather than get up to pee?The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Being the perpetual alcoholic that I am, I have been in this situation an immeasurable number of times (LOTS of fluids in the system right before bed - diuretic fluids for that matter).
I can never fall back asleep though.
Back when I was living out of a minivan, I used piss jugs when I didn't want to go to the trouble of sauntering outside in the middle of the night.
I have to admit to being so lazy, though, that I've considered doing the same even now that I'm living in an apartment, with a bathroom a mere few feet from my bed.
