What Happens When You Take The 30-Day Water Only Challenge

“Water,” said Camelbak hydration expert Doug Casa “makes up about two thirds of who we are, and influences 100 percent of the processes in our body.” With that statement alone, it should be easy to tell that water is indeed a crucial part of our entire well-being.

In fact, medical experts suggest that drinking water often is absolutely necessary. As Kaiser Permanente nephrologist Steven Guest, MD, once pointed out “Fluid losses occur continuously, from skin evaporation, breathing, urine, and stool, and these losses must be replaced daily for good health.”

Water sustains life, provides therapy, and directly impacts body operations and health maintenance.

Advantages of Drinking Water Only for 30 Days

Apparently, significant things can happen to your body if you make water your only beverage for 30 days – even “without changing your diet or exercise routine,” according to a blog post by Lifehack’s Gloria Donaldson.

The article goes on to share some of the immediate advantages:

1. Mental creativity and performance will be boosted
2. The aging process slows
3. Stronger immune system
4. Healthier heart
5. Stronger bones
6. Fat loss
7. Enhanced metabolism

Other possible health benefits include fatigue prevention, higher energy levels, better food digestion, improved bowel movements, and of course, a financial boost. Just imagine the amount of money you can save if you do not purchase coffee, soda, or alcoholic beverages for 30 days straight!

The health benefits of drinking water only for 30 days are unbelievably tremendous.

It may sound like a difficult idea at the outset but actually, some people have done it, have survived, and have reaped the many advantages of doing the 30-day water only challenge.

Too hard, you say? Well, you can watch this video from BuzzFeed:

As you’ve seen on the video, one of the guys said “coffee is life” while a girl claimed she doesn’t know “how to watch Netflix without wine.” Surprisingly, all of them took the challenge and succeeded.

The real question, here, of course, is this: Would you be bold enough to take the 30 Days Drinking Only Water challenge?
