15. You don’t drink enough water
Ahh, water… it can do so many things for us. From helping us stay clean to keeping our bodies hydrated, water can also decrease our chances of getting ill. When you don’t drink enough of it, dehydration shows up, leading to poor quality sleep, low energy levels, and affecting your body’s natural ability to remove toxins.
All of these translate to a weakened immune system, making you more prone to catching a cold. In fact, not only colds but a wide range of health problems such as chronic fatigue, premature aging, weight gain, unbalanced pH, urinary tract infections, and even brain damage.
