7 Vital Reasons Why Water Is So Important For Your Health
It's true that 80% of our body is made up of water, and when we don't drink enough, our electrolytes are left out of balance, leaving us to feel dehydrated with symptoms of dry skin, headaches, and mood swings. For that reason, 1,5 -2,5 liters of water a day is essential to living a healthy and well-balanced life.
But what benefits does drinking water bring to our body and overall health? Here are 7 reasons why water is vital to living a great life, physically, mentally, and emotionally.
1. Blood
Water is the main component in our blood. Our blood transports oxygen and nutrients to the rest of our body, and works to breakdown waste, minerals, vitamins, and other important components essential for optimal health. Water is also responsible for diluting your blood, making it less prone to clots, thrombosis, and high blood pressure. Because of this, and many other important factors, our blood should be comprised of around 94% water.
2. Emotional Wellbeing
Drinking enough water leads to less stress and more energy. By drinking a glass of water first thing in the morning, you are able to increase your productivity by up to 14%.
3. Brain Power
Our brain is made up of 75% water, which means that its performance is largely based on our level of hydration. Our brain cells need nutrients that can be found in water in order to create a healthy balance. If we drink enough water, our concentration level and our memory increases, and we are rewarded with better sleep.
4. Minerals
Water is so important largely due to its high mineral, calcium, and magnesium content. Additionally, water contains chloride, sulfate, potassium, sodium, silicic acid, fluoride, iron, zinc, and bicarbonate. These are all minerals that the body needs for optimal daily functioning.
5. Fluid Balance
We tend to lose a lot of fluid throughout the day, especially when in hot weather or while engaged in sports. But when we have a low level of water, we are left feeling lethargic, which contributes to poor physical and psychological performance. Additionally, the water content that we do have, is exhausted quicker than if we were well hydrated.
6.Fatigue
When we drink enough water, we are able to effectively prevent or diminish tiredness and fatigue. This is because water is the main source for our brain - less water equals less energy throughout the day. It leads to a feeling of exhaustion and not enough energy to undergo physical and psychological challenges.
7. Skin Care
Water is equal to gold when it comes to the health of our skin. It helps to prevent infection, and reduces redness, pimples, and blemishes. A great solution for this, in addition to an adequate amount of water, is our Clear Skin Detox herbal drops, which is a natural cleansing agent that works from the inside out. They therefore give you a healthy balance and sebum production, leaving you with clearer, more supple and radiant skin. Additionally, our Clear Skin Detox Roller is a topical solution for those pesky blemishes.
