The Benefits of Drinking Water

Monday, 19 February 2018 by admin
By Marcisco Morrison

The amount of water consumed daily plays a vital role in maintaining your health. Experts recommend drinking 8oz times 8 of water daily to maintain excellent health (the 8×8 rule). The main component of your body is water. In fact, depending on your body size, your body is between 55 and 78% water. Our bodies also lose considerable amounts of that water through dehydration and sweating that must be replenished through drinking water.

Regular and adequate consumption of water has many health benefits.

Helps in Digestion and Fighting Constipation 

Water boosts the functioning and health of your gastrointestinal tract. Water not only helps in facilitating better digestion but also prevents constipation. Often, inadequate amounts of water in your body results in episodes of constipation as your colon resorts to pulling water from your stools in order to maintain hydration. This makes the stool harder and passing becomes a problem. Water is good for combating dehydration and decongestion also helping your body bounce back quickly when you are feeling a bit under the weather.

Prevents and Treats Headaches 

Dehydration due to insufficient water in your body can trigger headaches or even migraines in some people. It has been proven that drinking lots of water when dehydrated can relieve headaches. However, this could also depend on what type of headache you are experiencing.

Helps with Weight Loss 

Drinking lots of water can assist with your weight loss program. This is based on the fact that water increases satiety levels and boosts your rate of metabolism. It is important to time your water drinking as it has been shown that it becomes most effective when it’s drank half an hour before the meal.

As it has the effect of making you feel fuller, you are likely to consume fewer calories. It is even better when you think water cold, as your body will then use extra energy (calories) to first warm the water to your body temperature.

Flushing out Toxins

Water is good detoxifier helping in flushing out toxins from the body, getting rid of waste through urine and sweat. Your kidneys process about 200 quarts of blood each day, sitting out the waste stuff and transporting it through urine to your bladder. Your kidneys must have adequate fluids to flush out what the body doesn’t need. Water also boosts the overall functioning of your kidneys.

Certain body toxins can cause skin inflammation leading to acne and clogged pores. Water also helps in getting the most out of any aerobic and anaerobic customized fitness training programs.

Muscle Fuel

When you work at the gym, you tend to sweat a lot leading to your muscles loosing much water. When your muscles lack adequate amounts of water, they get tired easily and fast. Therefore, to give your muscles that extra energy, drink more water that will see you with enough energy for your final workout session.

You may want to think of water more like a vital nutrient needed by your body that is found in plain water, liquids, and foods. These “nutrients” are essential to replace the considerable amounts of water your body loses daily. As an added plus, water contains no fat, sugar, carbohydrates, or calories. When you drink adequate amount of H20, it helps in maintaining your body’s fluid balance, very important in assisting the transportation of nutrients in your body’s fluid balance, very important in assisting the transportation of nutrients in your body. It helps in digesting food, regulating body temperature, and more.
