Why should I drink water?

Why is drinking water so important?

Water is essential for human life to exist on earth. It keeps you hydrated all the time without giving extra calories and additives. Having no calories in water help to reduce weight and management of calorie intake.

Drinking enough amount of water help to prevent the body from dehydration. It is a condition which causes the body to overheat, resulting in constipation and kidney stone.

It plays a vital role in the functioning of the body. The main functions of water in our body are to maintain temperature, protection of joints and organs, abolition of wastes and bring nutrients to cells.

Reason to drink water:

1. Maintained the body fluid:

The human body contains about 60% of water. The key role of fluid in the body is to balance the process of ingestion, digestion, absorption nutrient transportation, body temperature maintenance and saliva creation.

The posterior part of the brain transmits the signal to the kidney for the excretion of water as urine. When the level of fluid becomes low in the body results triggering the thirst mechanism of the body.  So, dehydration affects the structure and function of the brain.

2. Control the calories intake:

Water is considered essential for losing weight. It does not have magical factors for weight loss due to its low-calorie value as compared to other high-caloric beverages.

Food that contains a high amount of water has a high volume which requires more time to chew resulting to cause a feeling of fullness. Water-rich sources are beans, fruits, and vegetables.

3. Energized your muscles:

It is very important to keep hydrate your body during or after exercise because the cells that don’t maintain their fluid level results in muscle fatigue. And when muscles don’t have enough fluid, they lose their ability to work and perform well.

4. Water help kidneys function:

The fluid in the body helps to transport waste in and out. The kidney performs a good function as long as the level of fluid remains balanced. The main toxin in the body is blood urea nitrogen which is a water-soluble waste having the ability to transport through the kidney and easily excrete in urine. If the level of fluid decreases, it results in an increase in the colour, concentration and odour of urine. And if you take the fluid chronically low cause you to suffer from kidney stones.

5. Regulate temperature:

Water helps to maintain the body's temperature. Water is lost during and after physical activity through sweating. Sweat helps to keep your body cool so when the body does not get enough loss water it increases the body temperature. Because during seating body loses electrolytes and plasma which causes dehydration.

6. Creation of saliva: 

Saliva helps the body to digest solid food and keeps the mouth, nose and eyes moist. Water is the main component of saliva. It adds some amount of electrolytes, enzymes and mucus to food during mastication which helps to break solid food. Saliva is regularly produced by the body when you balance the intake of fluid.

7. Prevent constipation:

Constipation occurs when stools in the colon do not get enough water. When the body is dehydrated, water is moved from the large intestine to hydrate the rest of the body. So, with less water, your stool becomes dry and difficult to pass through the bowel.

8. Keep your skin fresh:

The skin is the largest organ of the body and is made of cells. It also does not work properly when the body has not had enough amount of water. It becomes dry has less elasticity, is tight and is flakier. When you intake water, it helps to reduce the sign of ageing.
