You are probably aware that your body needs water to survive, but do you actually get enough of it? Most people don’t drink enough water and end up in a constant state of dehydration. If that sounds familiar, it can be costing you in ways you may not be aware of including digestion issues, body pain, and low energy. Here are some of the consequences of not drinking enough water.

It can also affect your body’s ability to absorb nutrients from the food you eat.

JOINT PAIN
The cartilage that protects and cushions your joints is made up of about 80% water. When you don’t drink enough water, it’s easy to see how it can impact your joints.
