Learn More »A cup of coffee has its own set of benefits and there are several studies that vouch for the positive effects of coffee on health from longevity, prevention of heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease and even cancer.

So water is important for healthy skin, hair, and nails, as well as controlling body temperature, heart rate, and blood pressure. "It's definitely essential," says Jim White, registered dietitian and personal trainer in Virginia Beach, Va., and American Dietetic Association spokesman. "What we're finding is so many people are deficient," he notes. "We're seeing a huge decrease in athletic performance and fatigue that's caused by the lack of hydration."
