If you think of the human body as a machine, water is the oil that keeps it running. But, recent studies have shown that three-fourths of Americans are dehydrated. Over time, chronic dehydration can lead to many complications, such as fatigue, joint pain, headaches, ulcers, and high blood pressure. This comes as little surprise, considering the human body is made up of 60 percent of water. So, it’s important to stay hydrated to keep your muscles working efficiently. Hydration also helps the functionality of your liver and kidney and is great for the general health of your skin, hair, and immune system.
