6 Reasons Why You Should Drink Enough Water • Ever seen anyone survive without water? Water is unarguably life! And while we already know that water is good for the body, we probably don’t know how important it is for our overall health. • The good old saying of drinking 8 glasses per day might be having little evidence backing it up. • However, almost your whole body weight is made up of water. Infactout the whole body, two-thirds of them- your brain, joints, organs are mainly water. • That is why you need to drink enough water for your proper body functioning and healthy living.

Protects Your Tissues, Spinal Cord, and Joints • Every cell, tissue, and joints need water to work properly. The cartilage found in the disc of the spine and joints contains around 80 percent of water. • This means less consumption of water can cause joint’s friction which might lead to pain. • Moreover, it is also important to keep the tissue in your body hydrated. When your throat, nose or eyes feels dry, it could be a sign that you are dehydrated. • And a significant drop in the water in tissue water can lead to water loss or blood plasma.

Hydrates your skin • The importance of water in the beauty game cannot be overemphasised. • Little wonder is one of the key things beauticians will recommend for a beautiful, soft, glowing skin.
• Inadequate intake of water can make the skin lose its elasticity, suppleness, and might lead to skin problems and premature aging. • The more hydrated you are, the fewer the lines and wrinkles. • However, bear in mind that diet and genetics also play a role in your skin appearance. 4
Ease bloating and constipation • Hydration is crucial for your normal bowel function as it promotes easy movement in your gastrointestinal tract. • This prevents constipation, bloating, heartburn or any other illness associated with digestive problems.
• Plus, you might be having issues passing water and stools when you are dehydrated.
5
Aids weight loss • It's time to replace those sweetened juices and sodas with water if you need to shed some pounds. • There is some evidence that suggests that increasing water intake can boost metabolism rate which increases the amount of calories you burn per day. • Another trick is to take a lot of water before meals to prevent overfeeding or consuming excess calories.
• This helps to reduce the risk of excess weight. 6
Helps prevent illness • When you urinate, sweats or excrete, the body fluids help transport harmful toxins or wastes out of the cell. Your kidney or liver then flush them out of your body easily when you take adequate water. • This means if you are not drinking enough water, these toxins are not easily gotten rid of . • This makes you at risk of heat stroke, kidney stones, and urinary tract infections.
• Moreover, water helps to transport oxygen to your body cells which promote the proper functioning of the body system. 7
Boost your brain power and energy levels • Since the brain is made up of mostly water, the key to its smooth operation is water. • Water helps to balance the chemical processes in the brain.
• It transports oxygen and nutrients critical to the brain's functioning. Plus, it provides cushioning and lubrication of the brain tissue. • This means low water intake can lead to short term memory loss, fatigue, trouble focusing, confusion, headaches, stress and anxiety.
