Water is Key to Your Health
Water is essential for your health. Dehydration naturally occurs through breathing, sweating and digestion. It is important to re hydrate the body by drinking fluids and eating food that contains water. Your body uses water in all its cells, organs and tissue to help regulate its temperature and maintain bodily functions. Water provides optimum levels of moisture for your brain, blood, bones, eyes, nose and mouth. In addition, water helps to protect the spinal cord and acts as a lubricant and cushion for your joints. Your digestive system is dependent on water in the form of saliva. Adequate water intake enables your body to excrete waste through perspiration, urination and defecation. The kidneys, liver and intestines use water to help flush out waste.
Drinking enough water should be at the top of your priority list each day. Drink minimum two liters of water per day to provide your body with an adequate water intake.
Why Water is Essential to Perform Optimally in Business
- Mental Alertness: Blood is more than 90% water and carry oxygen to different parts of the body including the brain. Dehydration can affect the brain structure and function, leading to reduced thinking and reasoning possibilities. Water also cushions the brain, spinal cord and other sensitive tissues.
- Improved Breathing Ability: Airways are restricted by a dehydrated body in an effort to reduce water loss. Sufficient water presence in the body opens the airways and enable normal breathing abilities.
- Appearance: Sufficient water intake ensure a healthy skin and help with weight loss. When dehydrated, the skin can become more vulnerable to skin disorders and wrinkling.
- Maintain Blood Pressure: Sufficient water helps to maintain blood pressure. A lack of water can cause the blood to become thicker resulting in an increased blood pressure.
- Digestive System: Saliva helps us digest our food and keeps the mouth clean.
- Better Joint Function: Cartilage present in joints and discs of the spine contains around 80 percent water. Dehydration can reduce the joint's shock absorbing ability leading to joint pain.
- Reduced Hangover: Alternate your alcoholic drinks with lemon flavored ice water at your Business Function to prevent over consumption of alcohol.
Check Your Water Level
Check your body's water level regularly. If your urine is clear, you are generally in good shape but if it is dark you're probably dehydrated and need a water top up.
Your body needs water. Feed it water. It is the most precious gift that you can offer your body for health and wellness sake.

Yes!! I was just thinking I really need some water. I need to get up and actually go get it! Thanks for the added motivation! I have recently learned that cataracts can develop due to dehydration!! There are more benefits to water than can be listed. Thanks for this list of some of them. It seems many people don't think about this. I take a water bottle most everywhere I go but I am the only person I know that does this.
We have to use water softener salts now and I hate the taste. I realized it was keeping me from drinking much water! I went and got myself a water filter to counteract this.
So true! Drinking the required amount of water daily is important if we want to stay healthy. Thanks for sharing Johan.

If you google, you see both sides of the story, but I can tell you, we do not have our minerals from our drinking water.
