Best Health Tips: The one thing you should never forget to do

A healthy mind and body is the sum total of many mindful activities we commit to on any given day. Granted, we can still live a fairly healthy life even if we skip a thing or two from the checklist of healthy activities. However, there is one thing in our list you should never ever skip – and that is to drink a sufficient amount of water daily. An adult requires at least 1.5 litres of water daily. 70% of our body is composed of water. That itself explains a lot without giving further explanation as to why water is important for our survival and why we should not be skipping this little task on any given day.

Here’s why it is beneficial:

• Essential for all organs to perform its assigned tasks.
• Lubricates the joints.
• Keeps the eyes, nose, and mouth moist.
• Blood is 90% water.
