Water Therapy
Drinking lots of water can make our skin more attractive? Does it really make sense?

Water is the most important component of complex living organisms.
We are made up of 70% water. it is recommended we drink 8-10 glasses of water a day. this includes teas/coffees/juices but not alcohol and soft drinks because alochol and sugar retains water as does salt in/on your food.
Water also helps us maintain our wanted figure. It is the cleansing agent of our body. It helps us also eliminates some toxins reside in our body. However, it may take a little more to clear up your skin.
Thirsty
Thirst is a poor measure of dehydration and many drinks are themselves dehydrating, eg alcohol and caffeine-containing drinks.You become dehydrated long before you feel thirsty so it’s a good idea to drink water often.
Still water should be your first choice, but other options are fruit teas or herbal blends, decaf coffee and water flavoured with fresh fruit juice.
Illness and fever also increase your water requirement, and water replacement is an essential part of much medical treatment.
Signs
If your urine is dark in colour, this is your body’s signal that you need to increase your fluid levels.
So better to drink 8 glasses of water everyday to keep us healthy and away from sickness
