Your Kidneys Are Infected
“Certainly not having enough water can lead to a urinary tract infection, which can lead to a kidney infection,” said Chong. “Kidneys filter our blood which is mainly water, so if we’re on the dehydrated side it puts extra stress on our kidneys.”
Drinking plenty of water can also prevent kidney stones, according to the American Kidney Fund.
You're Lacking Nutrients
“Nutrients are transported through water and the blood, so for overall good health and making sure we get nutrients we eat, it’s important to have enough water,” said Chong.
Water is a key factor in transporting oxygen, nutrients and waste products into and out of the cells.
You're Hungover
Drinking water might make you feel better the day after drinking, but it can also help prevent a hangover altogether.
Having one glass of water in between alcoholic drinks will help you drink less and decrease dehydration from alcohol, according to the National Institutes of Health.
Your Immune System Is Weak
“Good hydration just helps our good overall immune function,” said Chong.
Staying hydrated and drinking fluids can help treat and prevent coughs, colds and the flu, according to WebMD.
Your Skin Looks Bad
Many people believe that drinking a lot of water is good for their skin. Unfortunately, this belief might be a bit overstated.
Still, water does have some benefit for skin because it helps you avoid dehydration. Studies have shown that dehydration can have a negative effect on the durability of your skin, according to a report from the BBC.
