Our bodies are made up of bone, muscle, tissue, cells, marrow, organs, and around 70% water. It is vital that we maintain that amount of water for our body to work at its best. This means that we need to drink water regularly, as the body cannot store water and loses some throughout the day via sweating, urination and other bodily functions.
Important Medical Reasons You Should Drink Water
Drinking water regularly is not just to slake our thirst, but to keep our immune system functioning optimally, but for various medical reasons.
Eastern medicine has long practised and preached the necessity of water for preventing as well as for curing various diseases and medical conditions, and the Japanese Medical Society contends that drinking water on a regular basis will cure:
- Arrhythmia – water keeps the blood at the correct viscosity so that there is no strain on the heart
- Arthritis – water keeps the joints lubricated and cushions them against injury
- Asthma
- Body aches – water keeps the muscles and joints lubricated and functioning at their best
- Bronchitis
- Cancer – water flushes toxins from the body
- Cardiac problems
- Constipation – water is required to keep the stool soft and easily passable
- Diabetes
- Diarrhoea
- Ear nose and throat diseases
- Epilepsy
- Eye diseases – water allows the creation of mucosa which keeps the eyes
- Gastritis
- Headaches – the brain needs water to function and protect it inside the skull
- Kidney and urinary diseases – water is needed to flush toxins from the body
- Meningitis
- Menstrual problems including endometriosis and menorrhagia
- Obesity – drinking water suppresses the appetite and prevents water retention
- Piles – often caused by constipation from dehydration
- Tuberculosis
- Vomiting
- Womb disorders
Drinking water first thing in the morning is great as it alleviates the dehydration from not drinking water for all the hours of sleep and kick-starts your metabolism. Some say that drinking hot lemon water is the best; that is fine if it is your choice, but if you do not like lemons or drinking hot water, then drinking a nice big glass of pure, fresh cold water is just as good.
