Important benefits of drinking water

 

Maintain joint health

Cartilage in the joints and disks of the spine contains about 80% water. Long-term dehydration can reduce the joint's ability to absorb shock, leading to joint pain.

 

It promotes healthy and beautiful skin

With dehydration, the skin can become more susceptible to premature skin disorders and wrinkles.

 

It regulates body temperature

Water stored in the middle layers of the skin reaches the surface of the skin as sweat as the body heats up. When it evaporates, the body cools, and scientists believe that when there is little water in the body, heat storage increases in the body and the individual is less able to withstand heat stress.

 

The digestive system depends on water

Your intestines need water to function properly. Dehydration can lead to gastrointestinal problems, constipation and an excessive heartburn. This increases the risk of heartburn and stomach ulcers.

 

Expel body waste

Water is essential in the processes of sweating and removing urine and feces.

 

Helps maintain blood pressure

Lack of water can thicken the blood, which leads to high blood pressure.
