The human body is 70% water, and every cell needs water to grow and function. Water is vital to flush away toxins and to get nutrients to your cells. Proper hydration is vital for the human body to function at optimal levels; too little water can interfere with its function, but too much water is not good either.
If you do not keep your body hydrated it will lead to a dry mouth, headaches, dry mucous systems, flushed skin, fatigue, chills, dizziness, decreased sweating and urination, muscle cramps, increased heart rate, respiration and body temperature, constipation, nausea and more.
Humans can last a few weeks, even a few months without food, but the longest we can survive without water is about three days, although some individuals have been known to last about 7 days. It only takes a few hours for the mouth to get dry, a few hours longer and the headaches and dizziness will begin. Mucous membranes begin drying up, the heartbeat is affected, and
By the third day without water an individual will become delusional, nausea and constipation sets in, and vomiting, muscle spasms, painful urination, neuromuscular seizures, dim vision or temporary blindness, and eventually the individual will fall into a coma and death will follow.
The correct balance between water and electrolytes must be maintained for all our body systems to work efficiently. Some of the lost fluid is replaced through eating water-rich foods and some by drinking other fluids such as juice, tea and coffee, but drinking water is still the best way of staying hydrated.
If you have a problem in drinking water regularly because the water in the area where you live is not particularly pleasant tasting or smelling, then investing in an office water cooler or a home water cooler may be the answer. Water coolers offer chilled, toxin-free, fresh, nice-tasting water virtually 24/7.
A water cooler also makes drinking water far more accessible for everyone, so there is no excuse for forgetting to drink water throughout the day to ensure that you remain fully hydrated at all times.
