We all want to live more, spend the rest of our life with no worries, stay young, and die with a hundred years. Who wouldn’t want to? And because of this desire, we used to do a lot of work in ourselves- exercise, healthy diet and a proper lifestyle. But those of these cannot be done with the help of the most miracle element of Earth.. the water.
This translucent fluid is the most essential element every organism and all living organism has and obviously needs. Anatomically, our body consist of almost 60% of water and it basically functions our every body part to keep us going. Without water, we can’t be able to survive. According to most researches, a day without drinking a water may end your life and take you to your deathbed.
Water is absolutely free (except for bottled/filtered but has cheaper price), and I bet everyone can enjoy more of it; but there are some people who don’t feel like drinking water because ridiculously, they find it flavorless and won’t settle drinking it, so they would prefer drinking more soda or liquor.
However, without their knowledge (or just being ignorant), water can bring their meaningless life to the fullest making their bodies more capable of achieving their wants- to stay young and live more.
Here are the 10 reasons why you should drink more water like you never do.
1. Prevent cancer.
Yes, that’s right – various research says staying hydrated can reduce risk of colon cancer by 45%, bladder cancer by 50%, and possibly reduce breast cancer risk as well.
2. Be less cranky.
Research says dehydration can affect your mood and make you grumpy and confused. Think clearer and be happier by drinking more water.
3. Perform better.
Proper hydration contributes to increased athletic performance. Water composes 75% of our muscle tissue! Dehydration can lead to weakness, fatigue, dizziness, and electrolyte imbalance.
4. Lose weight.
Sometimes we think we are hungry, when actually we are thirsty. Our body just starts turning on all the alarms when we ignore it. For those of you trying to drop some pounds, staying hydrated can serve as an appetite suppressant and help with weight loss.
5. Have less joint pain.
Drinking water can reduce pain in your joints by keeping the cartilage soft and hydrated. This is actually how glucosamine helps reduce joint pain, by aiding in cartilage’s absorption of water.
6. Flush out waste and bacteria.
Our digestive system needs water to function properly. Waste is flushed out in the form of urine and sweat. If we don’t drink water, we don’t flush out waste and it collects in our body causing a myriad of problems. Also combined with fiber, water can cure constipation.
7. Prevent headaches.
Sometimes headaches can be caused by dehydration, so drinking water can prevent or alleviate that nasty head pain. Next time your head hurts, try drinking water.
8. Make your skin glow.
Our skin is the largest organ in our body. Regular and plentiful water consumption can improve the color and texture of your skin by keeping it building new cells properly. Drinking water also helps the skin do it’s job of regulating the body’s temperature through sweating.
9. Feed your body.
Water is essential for the proper circulation of nutrients in the body. Water serves at the body’s transportation system and when we are dehydrated things just can’t get around as well.
10. If you don’t drink water, you will die.
It’s that important. Depending on our environment, we can live only a few days without water – maybe a week. We can live much longer without food. For most of us, we should prioritize the consumption of water far more than we currently do.
Listen to what your body needs and whatever may be the costs, drink water.. more! And never be a pessimist! 🙂
