Why You Should Drink Water
Water makes up 98% percent of our body, and without this
life-giving fluid, you and I would not survive. The human body
can survive for up to 3 weeks on water alone. Try surviving
without the water and you might make it 4 to 5 days. It's a
truly amazing and health sustaining fluid, and it's just water!
What really do we get from water, that our body must have, and
can't live without? It's the benefit of the fluidity of water,
and what it does for our bodies that is the most important part.
All of our bodily functions rely on the cells in our bloodstream
to supply them the nutrients and minerals that they need to
carry out those vital functions. How do our cells achieve that
end? They absorb the vitamins, minerals, and nutrients we take
in during our digestive process. But they also absorb water, or
liquid fluids that are a product in direct water intake or the
digestive process, but either way, water must be a part of the
formula. Since cells are also made of mostly water or fluid,
it's necessary to keep lots of water coming, and make sure that
we include at least 64 ounces in our daily intake.
Ask any health and fitness instructor, and they will tell you
that you must consume plenty of water during your exercise
routine, weight lifting, and physical activity requires us to
take in water or some sort of sports drink. Most of the
instructors will recommend just plain water. Why must we keep
our bodies so hydrated? In order for the metabolic and muscle
burn to occur, there must be plenty of water and plenty of
oxygen. Oh, wait a minute, there's another benefit of water. It
contains oxygen, a substance our body cannot get enough of.
Water also helps to flush
the lactose acid that accumulates in
our muscles when we work out, or use the excessively. The
lactose acid can build up and cause soreness, stiffness, and
muscle pain.
So, if you look at the benefits that water supplies, and you
are trying to maintain health and fitness, you can not ignore
the fact that water needs to be a part of your daily intake. But
how much water do we need to adequately supply our bodies, and
help fuel our metabolic processes? The most often recommended
quantity is 8 eight ounce glasses each day. Personally, I
believe that amount should be closer to 10 eight ounce glasses
each day.
What other benefits can water provide, other than the obvious
ones of adding fluid to our bodies? Water helps keep our skin
healthy and glowing. It helps in the reduction of wrinkling, and
aids in our ability to flush fat, toxins, and any other unwanted
or foreign substance from our bodies. Flushing our intestines
with plenty of water allows us to maintain stable and safe
quantities of yeast and bacteria. Plenty of water keeps our
thought processes and brain function at optimal levels, and
prevents headaches that are caused from not enough hydration.
It's pretty amazing what that one little glass of water can do!
