The amount of water she drank drastically made a change to her appearance. Her daily routine was normal during the photo on the left."Usually i start my day with a cup of tea , then i might have a glass of water with my lunch and one with dinner - that's about a litre of liquid in 24 hours. It feels like plenty , but apparently it's not nearly enough." She said in an article on Daily Mail.
She read survey that said that one in five women usually consumes less than the recommended amount of water in the UK. This is what led to her experiment. The photo on the left was taken the day she started the trail. It clearly indicates what dehydration can do to a face.
"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, wich make me look exhausted, a profusion of wrinkles and strange reddish blotches, amd my skin lacks any lustre. It looks dead." She says.
Most of our body functions and systems depend on water. It helps carry nutrients to cells, flash out toxins from our vital organs , eleminate waste and ensure a moist environment for our nose , ear and throat tissues. Not drinking enough water impairs most of these functions.

Sarah inquired from her local GP on whether taking all that water ( three liters sounds like a lot) will affect her health." I suggest you have a big jug of water in the morning , then another in afternoon and another in the evening," he says."Your kidneys, wich filter waste products from blood before turning it to urine, will quickly feel the benefit, as they will be getting a good flush through."
