Health Benefits of Drinking Water

Water is the main component of the human body. The Human body is composed about 70% water, depending on body size. Water has no calories, fat, carbohydrates or sugar.

The amount of water you consume everyday plays an important role in maintaining a healthy body. Normal it is better to drink 8-10 glasses of water each day to maintain good health.




1. Relieves Fatigue - Fatigue is one of the first signs of dehydration.When there is less water in the body, the volume of blood drops which causes the heart to work harder to pump oxygenated blood out in the bloodstream. When you take less water, major organs also work less efficiently. So drinking adequate water can help your body function better and reduce fatigue.

2. Improves Mood - Mild dehydration can negatively affect your mood and ability to think.The color of your urine is a good indicator of your level of hydration. The lighter the color the better the level of hydration and vice versa.


3.Helps in Digestion and Constipation - Water also improves the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract. This helps in digestion and prevents constipation. Inadequate water in the body often results in constipation as the colon pulls water from the stools to maintain hydration, thereby making them harder and difficult to pass. Drinking sufficient water boosts your metabolism and helps the body properly break down food. This helps your digestive system work well and promotes regular bowel movements. Warm water, in particular, is good for digestive health.

4. Aids Weight Loss - Water fills your stomach and reduces the tendency to eat more and helps increase the rate at which the body burns fat, and promotes the breakdown and elimination of fat cells.

5. Flushes Out Toxins - Water is an excellent detoxifier as it helps flush out toxins from your body and get rid of waste primarily through sweat and urine.

6. Reduces Kidney Stones - Water promotes kidney function and reduces kidney stones by diluting the salts and minerals in urine that cause kidney stones.

7. Regulates Body Temperature - The thermal properties of water and its ability to release heat from the body when sweat evaporates from the surface of the skin greatly helps maintain an even body temperature.Well regulated body temperature also will make you feel more energetic when exercising.

8. Preventing Cramps - Water helps keep your joints and muscles lubricated, thus preventing cramps and sprains.

9. Promotes Healthy Skin - Water keeps the body well hydrated and improves capillary blood flow, which promotes healthier and younger looking skin. Water helps replenish skin tissues, moisturizes skin and increases the elasticity in your skin.

10.Beats Bad Breath - Bad breath is a clear sign that you may not be drinking sufficient water. It keeps your mouth moist and washes away food particles and bacteria. It also dilutes the smelly compounds that oral bacteria create.
