Drinking water is, in fact, the primary source of hydration what your body needs, which is made up of more than 70% of it. The skin is considered a organ of elimination that is to say that all the toxins accumulated by the liver, kidneys, intestines and bladder pass through it. Which has the effect of clogging pores and creating imperfections that can sometimes ruin life. This is why it is important to constantly replenish it in water or green tea (which is an excellent natural antioxidant). On average, it is advisable to drink between 8 and 10 glasses of water per day (i.e. 1.5 liters for non-athletes and 1.7 liters for those who practice physical activity). You will no longer be able to say that you didn't know. |
