We drink almost half of it which then brings certain implications with it. Researchers believe that by drinking water, It fills your stomach which makes you lose your appetite and makes you lose weight this way.

Exercise
With time we have become lazy and we don’t have the will to exercise while everyone advise us to exercise and we know the benefits related to it but despite that we still don’t. There are many benefits to exercising such as increasing our life span, lowering risk of diseases, higher bone density and weight loss.
Increase the level of activity in your life. Exercise doesn’t mean that you have to do a sport or jog or run, even walking is exercise too. We walk from one place to another and that is an exercise too. That is beneficial for us too. To have a healthy life, Exercise is a must do.
Fruits
If you get to know the benefits just a single fruit such as an apple give then you wouldn’t want to eat junk food at all, you would just want to eat Fruits so that you can give maximum benefit to your body. Let me tell you that oranges have more Vitamin C than the Vitamin pills but we don’t know that. Taking vitamins from synthetic supplements aren’t the same as consuming the same nutrients from the fruit provided by the nature. Make your body alive by eating more and more fruits. As they say, “An apple a day keeps a doctor way”. This shows the benefits that an apple can give to a person. So, eat more and more fruits.
Eating Vegetables
We are crazed by the process food that we eat such as Chicken wings, Burgers and what not but we don’t know the advantages that vegetables has. Experts say that we should have 5-9 servings of vegetables/fruits but unfortunately we don’t even have 5 servings. Bring vegetables in your diet and see the magic that It does. You will for sure love the vegetables, just try them out!
