So the more you drink water, the more your body does this, and therefore, your metabolism will increase (and your weight will decrease).
Toxins are always something we want to get out of our bodies👋 Water does this naturally and flushes out all the bad stuff when you drink it. The water can also help lower your cholesterol, which is never a bad thing either.
Pooping is a natural part of life 💩. A healthy colon and digestion process is aided a lot by drinking water.
