2. Assist with nasal and throat congestion
A very unknown benefit of water (which could save us all the blues from winter colds) is its natural remedy for beating colds! Drinking liquids is a well known natural remedy for colds, coughs and a sore throat. But hydration prior to illness is the key to staying away from nasal and throat congestion all year round.
It dissolves phlegm and also helps to remove it from your respiratory tract. As such, it can provide relief from a sore throat. It also helps in clearing nasal congestion.
Yes, it is simple. But sometimes little changes can make a world of a difference. (pro-tip drinking water with lemon will also aid in avoiding illness and help you if you are not a regular water fan)
