Humans need water to survive, but the human body loses water all the time and cannot store water, so it is vital that we drink water on a regular basis in order to stay well-hydrated and healthy.
Unfortunately, most individuals do not drink sufficient water on a regular basis and walk around in a semi-dehydrated state most of the time. This occurs either because we do not think we need to drink water because we are not thirsty or because we do not like the taste of tap water.
Let’s face it; drinking tap water is no fun because it has no flavour, and often tastes and smells of chemicals, so who wants to drink it anyway? The problem is that dehydration does not just mean that we have a dry mouth; it also means that other vital organs and cells do not have sufficient water and can therefore not function properly.
By the time we feel thirsty, we are a mere 2% dehydrated, which may not sound much but is sufficient to cause dry mouth, headaches, light-headedness, and more. As our body continues to dehydrate, other functions are also negatively affected, such as the ability to urinate; the ability of our kidneys to work optimally; the ability of our brains to send messages and think properly; the ability to perform even rudimentary calculations; and the ability of the heart to pump blood, oxygen, electrolytes and lymph through the body. Joints become stiff; skin dries out, muscles cramp and spasm, and more.
Purchasing a water cooler these days is not a luxury but a necessity for good health. Drinking chilled, filtered, great tasting water from a water cooler provides one with energy and keeps you healthy. Having a water cooler is great because it provides an endless stream of healthy drinking water, and if you get a top of the line model you may have ambient and hot water options as well.
Water coolers are rugged, sturdy, can be customised, and are healthier and cheaper in the long run as they save on water wastage.
