As mentioned in our post FALLING BEHIND ON DRINKING 8 GLASSES OF WATER A DAY? CLICK HERE TO FIND A DIRECTION! that there are other ways to fill the hydration cavity in your body other than water alone. What usually happens is that if we skip water we think that it’s just water that can keep us hydrated and nothing else. Most of us also get depressed because they are not drinking enough water and that’s the reason why they don’t have fresh & younger looking skin.
