When it comes to leading a healthy lifestyle, nutrition plays a major role in your overall wellness. Staying hydrated can not only help you glow naturally but it is vital to assisting with internal bodily functions. Here are some other celebs who are encouraging us all to drink more water:

Smalls shared with Harper’s Baazar UK she likes to drink water for her health but also to help her when traveling. "I have a love/hate relationship with flying. I'll drink a lot of water because it'’s healthy for my skin. When I travel, I need it to replenish and re-hydrate; such a huge percentage of our bodies are made up of water."

Union told Parade water is essential and helps her complete daily tasks, but not in the way you might think. "I drink a gallon of water a day. I pee all day long. I get a lot of emails returned. I get a lot of reading done. When you see me tweeting, it’s from the toilet. Dehydrated skin is prone to wrinkling so I stay hydrated. There is no price tag I can put on the effect that water has on my hair, skin and nails."
