Stop pulling your hair and giving us the ‘I-am-so-gonna-kill-you’ look now, have a little patience and read on- you’d then know what we mean by eating water! But first, the wonders of water!
Benefits of water
Try living a day without water and we would bow down to your mighty stance. While most yogis and holistic gurus claim to do so, we wouldn’t want to debate or promote their beliefs and practices, and with total respect to their way of life, we would suggest doing your own research on them.
Almost seventy percent of the human body is made up of water, and the same would be lost on a daily basis too. This means, while we sweat it out at work or play, our bodies need to be rehydrated and replenished with the colourless, odourless liquid, or else we would end up with a case of dehydration- sometimes fatal to the existence of human life too!

Water flushes out the toxins from our bodies, through sweat, urine and even through our faecal matter each day. Unwanted waste and remnants from the body too are flushed out, and if the internals are kept clean, the body glows on the outside too.
Finally, we urge you to read more about the benefits of water, but remember a glass of water before a meal, helps you slim down too!
