10 WAYS WATER IS THE BEST

I'm sure you already know that water is the key to life-- we all need it to survive, but did you know that water is versatile?  Yes, the colorless and wet substance, H2O, serves as a life support and even as a destructive force. Even so, here are 10 reasons why water should be your bestfriend:

1. Immaculate Health

In this case, drinking it has incredible benefits. Better skin, lowers your risk for heart disease, helps to clear toxins in the kidneys, and provides the brain with oxygen giving it that extra boost you need.

2. Expresses Itself Beautifully

Have you ever heard water running through a fountain or pouring rapidly off a waterfall? Ever listen to the rain fall ever so gently against the pavement or hear it pounding the ground ferociously during a heavy rainstorm?  It's like the water is an orchestra, drizzling at a pianissimo then evolving to a heavy forte. If you haven't taken the time to really enjoy rain, please head over to rainymood.com to get a healthy dose of a rain soundtrack.

3. Great Sensations

You can not tell me that you have never stayed in the shower just to receive a massage from the water gushing from the shower head. A jacuzzi is another great place for water massages. Not only can water give massages with the help of pressure, but it also feels amazing in regards to the feeling you get when you splash cold water on your face.  Whether you need a "wake-me up" in the morning, or a cold splash on a hot day, water is my only solution.

4. Saves Money

It is pretty clear that the cost of a case of water is cheaper than a case of soda.  You even get more bottles with water.  When ordering at a restaurant in the U.S. which is free, your water or your soda? Also, in the long run, drinking water saves money on your health. What would you buy with the money you just saved?

5. No Taste Bud Preferences

Don't like green tea but you love orange juice and your friend loves green tea but hates orange juice? Well, the two of you are in luck if you ever need to compromise on a drink because water doesn't taste like anything! Perfectly designed since no one can be allergic to it and it is not disgusting with no odor.

6. It Is Everywhere

It is literally everywhere. About 75% of our bodies are made up of water and about 72% of the Earth is covered in water. Can't afford to buy bottled water? Well good thing it is freely available right here on mother Earth. When filtered, this is the best thing about water. You will not find a river full of soda or a waterfall gushing Mountain Dew. (90% of water covering the Earth is saltwater and I am not advising you to drink just any water.)

7. Magical

Really grasp the fact that animals can live underwater and you will understand how magical water really is. The  fact that water's molecules are cohesive is a magical fact in itself.

8. Phases

Water can be solid, water can be liquid, water can even vaporize to gas. Water's properties are so important to the Earth and also very handy to me. As a singer it is very important to keep your vocal chords moist. Drinking water will not immediately fix this so the next step is to breathe in steam created by boiling water.

9. Looks Amazing

Not only does water sound incredible but it is also aesthetically pleasing.  Watch the waves rolling toward you on a beach.  Admire a waterfall or even a rainfall.

10. The Best Activities

The best activities involve water. Jet packing, water skiing, swimming, the list could go on. Even as a child you enjoyed running through the sprinklers in the yard. I haven't been to a water park in years but I love the lazy pool.
