Sufficient
 daily water intake is vital for virtually every function within our 
bodies yet fewer than one in five of us drinks enough. Read on to see 
the results of this experiment.
Sarah Smith is a 42 year
 old mother of two young kids in the UK. She, like many others, openly 
admitted to not drinking the recommended 2 to 3 liters of water daily. 
She suffered from poor and sluggish indigestion and regular headaches. 
Following consultations with medical professionals for both issues she 
decided to take heed of the advice given – in both cases she had been 
told that she needed to up her intake of water. She decided to document 
and photograph what happened in a self imposed experiment whereby she 
would drink 3 liters, just over 5 pints, of water per day, every day for
 an entire month and see if she could feel any benefits.
At the outset Sarah took a long hard look at her face noting that “I
 am 42, but have to admit I look more like 52 in this picture, which is 
shocking. There are dark shadows under and around my eyes, which make me
 look exhausted, a profusion of wrinkles and strange reddish blotches, 
and my skin lacks any lustre. It looks dead….even my lips look 
shrivelled.” She spread the water out during the day aiming to 
drink a big jug of water in the morning, another in the afternoon with a
 third in the evening.
At the end of the FIRST WEEK she 
had already noticed that her bowel function was improved and her urine 
was virtually clear as the water was flushing out her previously 
dehydrated poorly functioning kidneys. She noticed sudden skin 
breakouts, which were a result of the toxins being eliminated from 
throughout her body. However her headaches were already gone and her 
previous joint stiffness first thing in the morning was vastly improved.
 Water is vital for lubricating the joints.
WEEK TWO saw an improvement in her skin tone and general complexion although she noted that her eyes were still wrinkled but said “they look less crepey and shadowy than before”. She
 also had a visibly flatter stomach and her smart husband paid her the 
ultimate compliment by noting that her cellulite had vanished! 
Significantly she had another week headache free.
On to WEEK THREE  when Sarah was 
happy to find that her eye wrinkles and dark circles had all but 
disappeared and her skin was plumper and healthier looking. She noted 
that she was actually eating less by this stage as she had fallen into 
the common trap of reading signals from her stomach as being hunger 
pangs whereas they were actually thirst pangs. Research has shown that 
37 per cent of people actually mistake thirst signals for hunger 
signals. The plentiful water had now stopped her from continually 
falling into that unhealthy trap.
So what about the end of WEEK FOUR? Sarah said “I
 genuinely can’t believe the difference in my face. I look like a 
different woman. The dark shadows around my eyes have all but 
disappeared and the blotches have gone. My skin is almost as dewy as it 
was when I was a child. The transformation is nothing short of 
remarkable.” She was leaner, fitter and nobody can deny the 
astonishing change to her appearance. She changed nothing else in her 
daily routine apart from the water intake. Here are the before and after
