OUR HEALTH, OUR WEALTH: The Importance of Drinking Water

source

Good evening, everyone. I hope everything is going well for you. The importance of drinking water is the topic of today's discussion.

Keep in mind that water alone will not reverse the effects of aging, but drinking water will help our skin stay hydrated and promote collagen production.
We already know that water is extremely important to our bodies. We require it, we cannot live without it, and we are aware of some of its benefits. However, the focus of this article will be on whether we are drinking enough water for our bodies or only when we need it.

Water performs numerous functions in our bodies, including waste elimination, body temperature regulation, and brain function. Are you aware of it? That is why water is essential to our bodies.

So here are the nine (9) benefits of drinking water.

• IT AIDS IN THE PREVENTION OF DEHYDRATION
  DEHYDRATION is the result of not drinking enough water. Because water is what allows our bodies to function properly, dehydration can cause serious problems. Severe dehydration can lead to serious complications such as kidney failure, brain swelling, and seizures. Drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration because water replaces the fluids lost through bowel movements, urination, and sweating.

IT AIDS IN MOOD IMPROVEMENT	Fatigue, confusion, and other symptoms of dehydration are also possible. As a result, dehydration can have an impact on our mood. Drinking water can help you fight anxiety.
IT AIDS IN IMPROVING BLOOD OXYGEN CIRCULATION	Drinking water can improve blood oxygen circulation as well as have a positive impact on our overall health because it transports beneficial nutrients and oxygen throughout our bodies.

• IT ASSISTS IN WASTE DISPOSAL THROUGH DEFECATION, PERSPIRATION, AND PERSPIRATION
  As I mentioned in my introduction, water aids in the removal of waste from our bodies. Water is also used to sweat, urinate, and pass stools. We sweat when we drink water, but sweat regulates our body temperature when we do physical activities or in hot weather. Water also benefits our kidneys by filtering waste through urination. Water consumption aids kidney function and prevents kidney stones. Water also aids in the maintenance of healthy stools and the prevention of constipation.

• IT ASSISTS IN THE REGULATION OF OUR BODY TEMPERATURE
  Physical activities such as exercising, gym workouts, and the like, as well as being in hot temperature environments, cause our bodies to lose water. It is known as sweating. It keeps our bodies cool, but we must keep it cool by drinking water and replenishing the water we lose.

• IT AIDS IN THE PROTECTION OF BODY TISSUES, SPINAL CORD, AND JOINTS
  Drink water to improve physical performance and enjoyment, as well as to avoid discomfort caused by conditions such as arthritis. Water lubricates and cushions our tissues, joints, and spinal cord.

• IT AIDS IN NUTRIENT ABSORPTION
  Water aids in the digestion of our food. It also aids in the dissolution of minerals, vitamins, and other nutrients from our foods or multivitamins as it transports these nutrient components to the rest of our bodies.

• IT ASSISTS IN THE CREATION OF SALIVA
  Water is the primary component of saliva. Saliva contains trace amounts of electrolytes, enzymes, and mucus, which are responsible for solid food breakdown and maintaining oral health. However, because our bodies produce saliva when we drink enough water, our saliva production may decrease as we age or as a result of age or certain medications or therapies.

• IT SUPPORTS COGNITIVE FUNCTION
  Also, as I mentioned in my introduction, water helps our brain function properly. Drinking insufficient water may impair our focus, short-term memory, and alertness.

ALWAYS STAY HEALTHY AND HYDRATED. THANK YOU
