We know that we should be drinking more water, but we aren't! I have replaced the soda I had been consuming with water, and I've lost a couple of pounds, but there are other health benefits to drinking more water!

Water Boosts Your Metabolism -- A new study says that if you drink about 17 oz. of water, your metabolism will increase by 30 percent. It's important to stay hydrated all day, because even mild dehydration will slow your metabolism down!

Drinking Water Will Make You Less Hungry -- If you drink 1-2 glasses of water before a meal, you will feel less hungry and naturally eat less!

More Water, Fewer Migraines -- A study of migraine sufferers was done, and people who drank six cups of water in addition to their normal diet were found to have 21 fewer hours of pain and a decrease in pain intensity from migraines over a two-week period.
