This Happens To Your Body When You Drink Only Water For 30 Days
#1 The health benefits of good hydration are significant.
According to the Mayo Clinic, mild to moderate dehydration can cause headaches, tiredness, dizziness, and other symptoms. Drinking lots of fluids throughout the day will ward off dehydration and give you other beneficial side effects, ranging from clearer skin to healthy digestive function. In short, water is very, very good for you.
#2 In a new video for BuzzFeed, four intrepid subjects take on the challenge of drinking only water for 30 days, giving up all other beverages. The results? They do not like.
In the broad scheme of physical and psychological trials that one could attempt, simply drinking water for a month seems pretty tame, and some of these participants' reactions tend toward the melodramatic ("I feel like I'm dying right now.").

But although sticking to water for a month may not seem like a big deal to some people, to those who thrive on coffee, do a lot of social drinking, or simply dislike water, this challenge could represent a major lifestyle change.
By the end of the experiment, the participants' reviews of the challenge are mixed, and none of them seem keen to continue their water-only lifestyles.
It's important to note that staying hydrated doesn't mean you have to stick solely to water. Pure water is great for you, of course but you can also get water from other beverages, including juice, milk, tea, and Âyes, even coffee and alcohol. Be aware that alcohol is a diuretic.
You can also ingest fluids through water-rich foods, such as watermelon and spinach
