Benefits You Should Know About Drinking Water

I don’t think that anyone really enjoys drinking water; I mean it tastes like nothing and even smells a bit funny sometimes, so why should we drink it? Actually there are some really good reasons why we all need to drink water regularly, and why tea, coffee, sodas or other drinks just will not do the same.

Benefits You Should Know About Drinking Water

Do you drink enough water on a regular basis? If you are like most people, you don’t! No matter how much tea, coffee, juice, beer or fizzy drinks you drink every day, if you do not drink water on a regular basis you are not doing your body any good.

Here are some really important benefits you should know about drinking water:

1. Concentration: The human brain consists of 90% water. Those of us who do not drink water regularly are depriving our brains of a vital need. By drinking more water you will improve your ability to process information, concentrate, and your alertness.

2. Detoxification: A well-hydrated body is able to easily remove harmful toxins via the biggest filter in our bodies; the kidneys. Our kidneys depend on water to work at peak performance. As we get older our ability to filter toxins through our kidneys decreases; this makes drinking sufficient water regularly detox our bodies even more important.

3. Digestion: Water helps produce more saliva, which helps move the food through the digestive tract where it also aids in digestion. Water then works hand-in-hand with fibre to help flush out waste and raise your metabolism.

4. Energy: Drinking water is crucial for better circulation. Oxygen in your bloodstream increases when your body is well hydrated; more oxygen is available to burn fat, which is the critical ingredient in energy production.

5. Headaches: One of the main causes of headaches is dehydration.  Nest time, instead of grabbing a pain tablet, grab a glass of water instead and stay hydrated.

6. Heart Disease: Research has shown that individuals who drink water regularly are far less likely to succumb to a heart disease or have a heart attack.  According to a study done on 20,000 healthy participants, drinking five glasses of water per day is very beneficial to heart health.

7. Immune System: Chronic cellular dehydration means that your body is in a constant state of dehydration within each cell, and occurs when we don’t drink enough water. This condition impinges on the immune system’s ability to defend the body from disease and infections. Drinking water keeps the lymph system, hence the immune system, working perfectly.

8. Skin:Drinking adequate amounts of water regularly hydrates your skin, which is necessary for increased skin elasticity and increased skin moisturising. Dehydration makes the skin lose its elasticity and look old and wrinkled.

9. Weight Loss: Water is a proven natural and healthy weight loss aid.  Drinking water aids weight loss because it is a wonderful appetite suppressant. Drinking water also helps increase your metabolism which aids in burning calories.
