How Drinking Water Helps You Live Long
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

It’s common to hear that water is essential for your health. But why?

This substance which involves many important functions such as: flushing out waste from your body, helping your brain function, amongst others, helps keep your organs free from ‘impurities’ hereby making them feel brand new and in turn increase your lifespan.

Here are other ways frequent drinking of water can help improve you health and in turn elongate your life span:

1. It helps Create Saliva

Water is a main component of saliva. Saliva also includes small amounts of electrolytes, mucus, and enzymes. It’s essential for breaking down solid food and keeping your mouth healthy.

However, your saliva production may decrease as a result of age or certain medications or therapies. Help your saliva production by taking more water.

2. It regulates your body temperature

Staying hydrated is crucial to maintaining your body temperature. Your body loses water through sweat during physical activity and in hot environments. Drinking plenty of water can avoid dehydration that can lead to death.

3. It protects your tissues, spinal cord, and joints

Water consumption helps lubricate and cushion your joints, spinal cord, and tissues. This will help you enjoy physical activity and lessen discomfort caused by conditions like arthritis.

4. It helps excrete waste through perspiration, urination, and defecation

Your body uses water to sweat, urinate, and have bowel movements, which in turn help the body stay clean.

5. Water helps maximize physical performance.

Hydration helps enhances your strength, power, and endurance.

Drinking water may activate your metabolism. A boost in metabolism has been associated with a positive impact on energy level. This in turn helps you achieve more.

6. It helps with nutrient absorption

In addition to helping with food breakdown, water also helps dissolve vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients from your food. It then delivers these vitamin components to the rest of your body for use, which in turn strengthens your body to function more.

7. It helps you lose weight

Studies have linked body fat and weight loss with drinking water. Drinking more water while dieting and exercising may just help you lose extra pounds.

8. It improves blood oxygen circulation

Water carries helpful nutrients and oxygen to your entire body. Reaching your daily water intake will improve your circulation and have a positive impact on your overall health.

9. It helps fight off illness

Drinking enough water can help prevent certain medical conditions such as: constipation, kidney stones, exercise-induced asthma, urinary tract infection, hypertension.

Water also helps you absorb important vitamins, minerals, and nutrients from your food, which will increase your chances of staying healthy.

10. It aids in cognitive function

Proper hydration is key to staying in tip-top cognitive shape. Studies have shown that not drinking enough water can negatively impact your focus, alertness, and short-term memory.

11. It helps improve mood

Not getting enough water can also affect your mood. Dehydration may result in fatigue and confusion as well as anxiety.

12. It helps keep skin bright

Adequate water intake will help keep your skin hydrated and may promote collagen production. However, water intake alone isn’t enough to reduce the effects of aging. This process is also connected to your genes and overall sun protection.

13. It prevents overall dehydration

Dehydration is the result of your body not having enough water. And because water is imperative to so many bodily functions, dehydration can be very dangerous.

Severe dehydration can result in a number of severe complications, including: swelling in your brain, kidney failure
seizures, etc.

Make sure you drink enough water to make up for what’s lost through sweat, urination, and bowel movements to avoid dehydration.
