Are You Drinking Enough Water?

Drink Up! THE IMPORTANCE OF H2O Your body needs it to thrive. In fact, it constitutes about 50%–70% of your body’s weight. We all depend on H2O to survive. In order to function properly, our cells, organs, and tissues rely on water. Water lubricates your joints, removes waste through urination, perspiration, and defecation, and maintains your body temperature. Water is also a vital component in your body’s digestion process. It helps break down the food you eat and makes sure your body absorbs the proper nutrients. Not only does it aid in digestion, but it also helps to avoid constipation. Water also gives your body the ability to fight off illnesses. It carries oxygen and nutrients, and staying hydrated improves your circulation, too! Thus, optimal health begins with staying hydrated. To stay hydrated, it is recommended that we drink 6–8 8-ounce glasses of water every day along with eating a variety of fruits and vegetables. Not drinking enough water could result in dehydration, meaning that your body doesn’t have enough fluids to operate properly.
