Another tip - when playing sport (like tennis or soccer) bring an entire 2L bottle filled with water. No use relying on a small water bottle - it will not be enough to keep you hydrated.
Also a high water intake decreases the risk of kidney stones!

Well I’m guilty of not drinking too much water. I only drink a lot during workout. But outside the gym, I rarely drink water.
Guess I have to make it a habit now. Thanks! (Although I’m looking for the 9 reasons you mentioned.. I only saw 2: weight loss and better exercise)
