Drink water and get some sunlight. You're basically a houseplant with more complicated emotions

From the monarch to a newborn baby, the human condition is one that needs watering so it can thrive and function. There is no way around this simple fact of biology, so let’s find out why you should be on board with topping up at the tap.
Did you know that our bodies are 60% water? We are essentially walking, talking, high-achieving water balloons, and we need to stay filled up to stay at our best.
So, why do we need water?
1. Brain Power Boost: When you are well-hydrated, the brain can work like a slick machine. You think faster, respond better and can remember more of the information that comes your way.
2. Energy Levels: Water keeps you energised and ready to take on the day. If you are feeling low energy and sluggish, increase your water intake and notice the difference.
3. The Skin You’re In: Your skin is the largest organ in the human body; it will reap the benefits of being hydrated. Grab the H2O and glow.
4. Mood Enhancer: Dehydration can make you more grumpy and less patient. Stay cool, calm, and collected by sipping on water throughout the day (although you do also have raging hormones, school and an unpredictable world to contend with as well and sorry, but water can’t solve all of that!)
5. Oil the Machine: If there isn’t enough fluid in your body, essential functions like joints and circulation just will not work as well as they could. Your organs won’t get necessary nutrients and that’s not advisable when the solution is so simple.
You are changemakers, world-enrichers and pioneers… but you need your water bottle on hand to achieve any of that big, important stuff. So, stay hydrated and check your friends are doing the same. What you then choose to do with your hydrated super-brain is entirely up to you.
