  • Cognitive function
  • Electrolyte balance
  • Body temperature regulation
  • Lubricating internal organs and joints
  • Keeping the cardiovascular system healthy
  • Protecting organs, the spinal cord and joints
  • Flushing out waste products from the liver/kidneys

But setting aside the health implications for one moment, did you know that being properly hydrated can actually help you transform your body? Here's what the science says:

  2. Drinking just 2 litres of water each day has shown to modestly increase metabolism.
  3. Drinking water 30 mins before a meal can help reduce the total calories consumed.
  4. People who drank 500ml of water before each meal lost 44% more 'weight' over a 12 week period, than those who didn't.
