As we all know, water is the most important liquid on earth.90% of things on earth either originated from water or has one thing or the other to do with water. Studies show that the water percentage in females ranges from 45-65% while that of males from 50-65%. That is why although the human body can stay without food for up to month, without
water we'll survive a few days. The human body is made up of water and that is why water is required for our sole survival.
Apart from drinking, we also use water for other activities such as cooking washing, doing laundry, for building etc. But on this article, we would be looking at the benefits of drinking ENOUGH water. Many of us drink water everyday but the human body requires that we take enough of it and not just drinking because you are thirsty hence its only when we start taking enough of it that we can really enjoy its benefits. Below are some of the benefits of drinking enough water
1: It gives us more energy and reduced the rate we get tired
2: Enough water in the body system prevents migraines and headaches
3: It keeps the body clean and flushes out toxins
4: It helps prevent muscle cramps
5: It increases body performance during exercise
6: It's really good for the heart
7: It enhances brain fuctions
8: It helps in weight loss (so i suggest you drink more water instead of soda)
Just like too much of everything is bad, too much intake of water also has its effect on the body. Our body looses water during our daily activities such as when we exercise and sweat, when we urinate, even while we breathe and during digestion we loose water. Hence its necessary we take enough water everyday. At least 8 glasses a day and also eat foods that contain water.
