Drinking water does more than just quench your thirst — it’s essential to keeping your body functioning properly and feeling healthy. Nearly all of your body’s major systems depend on water to function and survive. Want to drink more water? Get a water cooler now!
1. Regulates body temperature
Water that is stored in the middle layers of the skin comes to the skin's surface as sweat when the body heats up. As it evaporates, it cools the body.
2. It helps maintain blood pressure
A lack of water can cause blood to become thicker, increasing blood pressure.
3. Improves energy levels and brain function
Not drinking enough water can impair energy levels, impair mood, and lead to major reductions in memory and brain performance.
4. Carries nutrients and oxygen to cells
Blood is more than 90 percent water, and blood carries oxygen to different parts of the body.
5. Lubricates joints
Cartilage, found in joints and the disks of the spine, contains around 80 percent water.
6. The digestive system depends on it
The bowel needs water to work properly. Dehydration can lead to digestive problems, constipation, and an overly acidic stomach. This increases the risk of heartburn and stomach ulcers.
7. Weight loss
Drinking water can help you lose weight. This is because water can make you feel full sooner than normal and increases your metabolic rate. In one study, people who drank 500ml of water before meals lost 44% more.
