What Happens When You Drink Only Water for 30 Days?

While it’s not always easy to implement new habits into our daily lives, drinking only water offers countless benefits to our bodies, and committing to this simple change can have a powerful impact.

Dr. Mercola, a physician known for sharing popular health tips in viral videos, says that even if you don’t make drastic changes to your diet, simply cutting out sugary drinks and replacing them with water — even for just one month, “can completely transform your life.”

According to him, drinking only water revitalizes the body’s systems and provides a surge of energy. “A 2013 study found that if you drink only water for 30 days, your brain becomes significantly more consistent and sharp.”

Water acts on the brain the way a fruit-and-vegetable cleanse acts on the body. “You’ll naturally become faster, more perceptive, focused, and energized.”

Water also improves the appearance of your facial skin, adding glow and vitality. “Water is a catalyst for renewal processes in the body and enhances the performance of all bodily systems. It also helps detoxify the bloodstream,” Dr. Mercola explains. “When your body is sufficiently hydrated, you reduce your risk of kidney stones and help your immune system stay stronger and more resilient against disease.”
