Water is very important to the human body. Every one of your cells, organs and tissues use it to help with temperature regulation, keeping hydrated and maintaining bodily functions. In addition, It acts as a lubricant and cushions your joints. Drinking it is great for your overall health. According to the CDC everyone should drink it daily. Drinking water is very good for your heart. Your heart is working continually to pump 2,000 gallons of blood throughout your body a day. By drinking it and keeping hydrated, you are helping your heart do its job.
1. It boots energy. It delivers important nutrients to all of our cells, especially muscle cells, postponing muscle fatigue.
2. Water helps weight loss. It helps you feel full longer, without adding any additional calories. Drinking it or eating foods with a high water content can be a big help in managing your weight.
3. Water aids in digestion. It aids in constipation and other abdominal issues, especially those suffering from IBS. It helps to move the digestive process along and through the system.
4. Water detoxifies. Moves toxins through your system faster, and optimizes kidney function. Inadequate hydration means inadequate kidney function.
5. It hydrates skin. Forget expensive creams and cure-alls, It is the best defense against aging and wrinkles in the skin.
It makes up more than two thirds of human body weight, and without water, we would die in a few days. The human brain is made up of 95% water, blood is 82% and lungs 90%. A mere 2% drop in our body’s water supply can trigger signs of dehydration: fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on smaller print, such as a computer screen. (Are you having trouble reading this? Drink up!) Mild dehydration is also one of the most common causes of daytime fatigue.
It serves as a lubricant to your body
It serves as a lubricant in digestion and almost all other body processes. The water in our saliva helps facilitate chewing and swallowing, ensuring that food will slide easily down the esophagus. It also lubricates our joints and cartilages and allows them to (pardon the pun) move more fluidly. When dehydrated, the body rations It away from the joints. Less lubrication equals greater friction and that can cause joint, knee and back pain potentially leading to injuries and arthritis. Even our eyeballs need plenty of lubrication to work well and remain healthy.
