Our bodies are made up of over 100 trillion cells. Cells form tissues, tissues form organs, organs form body systems. The workings of the human body are very complex, especially at the cellular level because adequate hydration is essential for cell division and our cells needs nutrients for us to survive. Water transports nutrients,proteins, vitamins, minerals into our cells and flushes harmful toxins out.
The human body loses water every day through normal breathing, perspiration, elimination. Therefore,to maintain the proper function of all your body's complex systems, you must start drinking good, clean water every day. In fact, adequate hydration of the body helps to curtail hunger when trying to lose weight, and helps the body heal itself from sickness and disease.
Water regulates all the metabolic functions of the body:
* Brain function
* Lubricates and acts as a shock absorber for and cushions organs, joints, bones, tissues and muscles
* Flushes out waste and toxins from the colon, liver and kidneys
* Balances hormones
* Regulates body temperature by cooling the body in hot weather and insulating the body in colder weather. (The correct internal body temperature range is 97 degrees-99 degrees faranheight.
* Aids in Digestion/ Helps to Prevent Heartburn
* Prevents constipation
The list can go on...
What happens to our bodies when we don't get enough water? We suffer from dehydration. The symptoms of dehydration include fatigue, muscle weakness, headaches, irritability, anxiety, feeling light-headed, constipation and insomnia.If dehydration continues, sooner or later the ill effects will begin to appear in the body in the form of pain and inflammation. the location of the pain and inflammation deprnds on where toxins have accumulated in the body. When toxins accumulate they can deprive the cells of oxygen and even cause cell mutation, a primary cause of cancer. Medical research says drinking enough water daily, at least 1/2 our body weight in ounces can decrease the risk of bladder cancer by 50% and decrease the risk of colon cancer by 45%. ,( Example:take your current body weight and divide it in two = the amount of ounces of water you need daily.)
Many people suffer from aches and pains, constipation, skin eruptions and fatigue. Drinking enough pure water has been shown to help the body heal itself from many illnesses including:
2-Autoimmune disorders such as lupus and fibromyalgia
3-Tension headaches and migraines
4-Skin problems: acne, eczema and psoriasis
5-Kidney and liver dysfunction
6- Poor Circulation
7- Hormonal problems
8- Heart disease
9- Type 2 Diabetes
Again, the list can go on...
If you are choosing to commit to a healthier lifestyle, make drinking enough water a habit for your life. You will find it is the best long term investment for your good health. And remember,
thirst is not a reliable signal that your body needs water. You can lose a quart or more during strenuous activity and excercise.
