6 Science-Based Health Benefits of Drinking Enough Water (3 of 4)

Kidney Stones

That’s right, drinking enough water can even help prevent kidney stones. If you’ve ever had kidney stones before, you’ll be the first to tell people that it’s absolute horror and considering how it can be easily avoided by just drinking enough water, it seems kind of silly to not just do it. It probably doesn’t do enough to prevent the initial forming of the stones, but drinking enough water does make urine pass through your kidneys a lot faster, meaning the stones don’t get a chance to grow and clog up your urinary tract.

Hangovers

Yes, people, drinking water before you go to bed can help against hangovers. Even just drinking a single glass before you go to bed is gonna help a ton when it comes to preventing hangovers and the effects from it. Just one glass, people. You’ve drunk half a dozen at this point, one more won’t kill you.
