Don't like the taste of water? Perhaps thinking about one of the perks below will help you to pick up that next glass.

1. Clearer skin on your face and smoother skin on your body. If you increase your water intake by 2 or 3 glasses daily, you will notice a difference in the condition of your skin right away. This even works for teenagers with acne.

2. Helps control your appetite which leads to better weight maintenance. When you feel full, you won't eat as much. This is important if you like food as much as I do and gain weight as easily as I do.

3. Lubricates the joints for easier mobility. As we get older, things start to hurt and make "cracking" sounds. A little more water can help us out with that.

4. For ladies that can't get their nails to grow, water is what helps mine. I've never had strong, long, nails on a consistent basis until I started drinking water on a consistent basis.

5. Replacing sugary drinks with water at least once a day is so much better for your health. It's also better for your energy level. Sugar makes you jumpy temporarily and then you crash. Water refreshes, with no crash.

6. Water keeps the urinary tract clean, keeping your bladder and kidney in better health. This might not be at the top of the list. But it should be. When you get older, you'll wish you thought about this.

I know this won't make water taste like wine. But I hope it helps you to drink just a little more!
