Did you know that nearly half of Americans don't drink enough water during the day?
The CDCstates that water needs do vary from person to person, but if you drink less than four eight-ounce glasses of water a day, you're probably not drinking enough.
One woman went way beyond this benchmark for water intake, and it was pretty surprising what it did to her appearance.

After years of suffering headaches and having various digestive issues, 42-year-old Sarah Smith had enough and sought medical help from a neurologist and a nutritionist.
She was in need of some serious help.
Sarah, who wrote an article for the Daily Maildetailing her journey, was told to drink three liters of water a day by the specialists.
That amounts to roughly 12.5 cups of water a day!
How is someone supposed to drink that much water?
Well, Sarah gave it a shot, and the results were pretty extraordinary...
Aside from her husband telling her that her cups of tea in the morning don't count as water intake, which she disproved pretty quickly (moderate amounts of tea don't dehydrate you), things were going quite smoothly. She noted that her complexion was beginning to improve and the bags under her eyes were beginning to dissipate.
One of the biggest things she noticed was the effect drinking water had on her hunger. "I'm eating less because drinking water with meals makes me feel fuller quicker. I used to snack, but I was reaching for food when I was actually thirsty. Studies show 37 per cent of people mistake thirst for hunger," she said.
She swears that the only thing she changed was the amount of water she was drinking. Incredible!
SHARE Sarah's story with your friends on Facebook. Have they tried drinking a lot more water before?
