Greetings and welcome to my blog.
Have you heard the saying that water is life? This is very true. Can you imagine life without water? It wouldn’t even exist because without water there will be no life.
How important is drinking water for our body? |

Water is very important to our body. Did you know that the human body is made up of about 55% water for the adult female and 60% water for the adult male.
Does this statistics ring a bell? That’s to show you the importance or the irreplaceable place of water in the human body.
Drinking water plays very crucial roles in our body such as:
- Water helps in the maintaining and regulation of our body temperature. Have you noticed that when you are highly dehydrated that your temperatures increases only to normalize when you take in enough water. I’ve noticed this countless times.
- Water helps get rid of waste products in our body
- Water helps to keep our joints lubricated and protects our organs
- Water helps in circulation of nutrients to the cells of the body where they are needed
- Water aids the digestion of the food we eat and enables the nutrients to be extracted properly
- Water helps to keep us hydrated, people die out of excessive dehydration
- Water helps to boost our energy and our cognitive abilities
- Water aids the functioning of our muscles and makes our skin radiate.
Two third of the world is made up of water. That alone speaks volumes. Water helps to make the earth a living place to live. We can’t live on earth without water. That why we are able to inhabit the earth is because of the availability of water.
Water aids the trees to grow and helps man in food productivity. If there’s no water, plants won’t grow and the animals and humans would definitely staff to death. Lack of water brings about famine in the nation.
Water is so crucial to nature and it plays an important role in supporting and maintaining our ecosystem. Water had led to so many civilizations and the boost of our economy and determine how vegetation is distributed.
What should we do when we run out of drinking water? |

When we run out of drinking water, we should look for the next available option to get water available for our intake.
We can do this by buying from the road side or stores or tap water if the water in our country is purified enough for consumption. We should always ensure we don’t run out of water.
We make use of a lot of water in our day to day activities hence this can lead to wastage. Water is a crucial part of our existence hence we shouldn’t waste it and some of the ways we can conserver water is:
- Ensure we use the right quantities of water when we do chores around the house like washing plates, bathing, cooking etc.
- The taps must always be locked to avoid wasting water.
- We must ensure that taps are turned off while we do things such as brushing, shaving etc. some people leave the water on and allow it to run and that’s not good.
- We should ensure that there are no leakages in the toilets and bathroom and kitchen sinks.
- We should not allow children to play with the water sprinklers and hose at home and etc
