This one is obvious, but the benefits of hydration will make it worth your while. Water flushes out your digestive system, allowing you to feel light and airy all day long. When hydrated, your brain is supported and your mood is boosted. The combination of a healthy digestive system and a positive mood does wonders for your energy levels. Water battles the mid-day lethargy that is so hard to beat! Overall, hydration encourages peak performance (academically or athletically). To do your best, you must drink water!
