MBOMBELA- Water is life, water is cool and still remains one of the essentials components in one’s body. Here are six health benefits for drinking plenty of water every.
1.Drinking water helps to maintain the balance of body fluids.
The body is composed of about 60% water. The functions of these bodily fluids include digestion, absorption, circulation, creation of saliva, transportation of nutrients, and maintenance of body temperature.
2.Water can help control calories. For years, dieters have been drinking lots of water as a weight loss strategy. While water doesn’t have any magical effect on weight loss, substituting it for higher calorie beverages can certainly help.
Water-rich foods include fruits, vegetables, broth-based soups, oatmeal, and beans.
3.Water helps energize muscles.
Cells that don’t maintain their balance of fluids and electrolytes shrivel, which can result in muscle fatigue.
4.Water helps keep skin looking good.
The skin contains plenty of water, and functions as a protective barrier to prevent excess fluid loss.
5.Water helps the kidneys. Body fluids transport waste products in and out of cells.
6.Water helps maintain normal bowel function. When one doesnot get enough fluid, the colon pulls water from stools to maintain hydration — and the result is constipation.
