Water drinkingMany people do not realise how important it is to drink water regularly because they do not really know why it is so vital that they drink water and what their body does with it.

The chemical properties of water are hydrogen and oxygen. These are both critical to our bodies as they have revitalising properties and are maintaining force for our systems. Water, also known as the universal solvent, bonds with other molecules, to perform the vital function of conducting the electricity that is required to operate every aspect of our bodies.

The human body consists of 70 trillion cells, every single one of which needs water in order to function. Approximately 70% of the body’s total weight id made up of water.

What Does My Body Do With The Water I Drink?

The brain contains neurons which transmit thoughts and messages to the various parts of our body via electrochemical transmitters; water is essential for this to happen.  Without water our brains cannot function, ergo none of the other cells in the body would do anything because they depend on messages from the brain to tell them what to do.

Your body also uses the water that you drink to:

  • Eliminate waste and toxins from your body
  • Maintain your muscle tone
  • Metabolise fat stored in the body by reducing fat deposits
  • Reduce the sodium build-up in your body
  • Relieve fluid retention
  • Suppress your appetite

Drinking water on a regular basis also helps your immune system work effectively and can help with headaches, allergies, back pain, asthma, diabetes, colitis, depression, chronic fatigue syndrome, high blood pressure, alcohol dependency, lower neck pain, and more.

The body uses water to help with the digestive process. Once our food has been digested, it is converted into primary substances that can easily pass through the tiny cells into the lymph and blood, carrying nutrients to where they are needed. Without water helping us turn our food into energy we would be constantly fatigued.

Drinking water regularly will ensure that you remain hydrated and healthy, and this will ensure that your body is able to perform optimally physically and mentally at all times. If you have a problem drinking water because of the taste or smell of it, do yourself a favour and get a water cooler; you will be surprised what a difference that will make to your daily water-drinking habits.
