Water And You by enigmagu1(m): 1:49pm On Jan 01, 2013
espite the fact that water
is something that has no
taste, we still love it! Who
doesn’t relish the feeling
of a cool drink of water on
a sweltering hot day?
Approximately 70% of our
body’s mass is made of
water and according to a
number of doctors,
drinking a total of eight
glasses of water a
day fulfils the necessary
requirement of this liquid
our body demands..
So, here are the
11advantages of drinking
water:
1) Water is the only liquid
on Earth that safely
reduces weight. It removes
the by-products of fat and
keeps you fresh and
healthy. Drinking water
regularly, suppresses your
appetite to a great extent
and limits your food
intake. Another distinct
feature of water is that it
literally contains no
calories, hence,
contributing significantly to
weight loss
2) Do you want to look
younger? Problem solved!
Just drink lots of water
every day! Water is a
perfect replacement for
your
expensive ageing treatments.
It moisturises your skin
and keeps it fresh and
glistening thereby
enhancing its overall
appeal. In addition, it helps
maintain the elasticity and
suppleness of the skin and
prevents dryness by
detoxifying the skin. Hence,
one should strictly avoid
dehydrating foods and
beverages such as caffeine
(cola, chocolate, coffee, tea)
and alcohol
3) Drinking enough water
can also combat skin
disorders such as eczema,
psoriasis, dry skin, wrinkles
and spots
4) Water is an essential
component required for the
effective working of our
body since body parts
including our brain and the
various tissues are mostly
composed of water.
Considering this, water
can significantly improve
our ability to think and
make us energetic too.
5) Water removes toxins
and most of the waste
products from our body
contributing to a healthy
quality of life. If our body
lacks water then our heart
has to make an extra effort
to pump fresh oxygenated
blood to our organs causing
severe (health issues)
6) A study conducted in the
Loma Linda university in
California, involving 20
men and woman in the age
range of 38 to 100 years,
concluded that those who
drank enough water
throughout the day were
less likely to have a heart
attack (41% in women and
54% in men). Hence, it can
be suggested that if you
substitute water with milk,
tea, coffee or other
beverages then you will
have increased chances of
incurring a heart attack,
with a precise rate of 50%
in women and 46% in men.
7) Water helps to relieve
headaches and back pain.
Although there are many
reasons that contribute to
headaches, dehydration is
one of the most common
ones
cool Regular intake of water
increases your metabolic
rate and improves your
digestive system. If you are
constipated, try drinking
more water - it can work
wonders!
9) Drinking plenty of water
helps fight against the flu
and other ailments like
kidney stones. Water,
along with lemon or lemon
juice is often used to
overcome respiratory
diseases, intestinal
problems, rheumatism and
arthritis. On the whole,
water plays a fundamental
role in strengthening your
immune system
10) Research suggests that
drinking substantial
amounts of water is likely
to reduce the risks of
bladder and colon cancer.
This is because water has
the ability to dilute the
concentration of cancer-
causing agents in the urine
and reduce the time they
take to come in contact
with the bladder lining
11) The human body needs
a neutral Ph 7 range in
order to function properly.
Drinking enough water
throughout the day helps
maintain this balance.
Given that dehydration,
“the excessive loss of body
fluid” can be a major
source of aggravating one’s
health, it seems obvious
that drinking sufficient
water is of utmost
importance for a healthy
lifestyle. Water determines
the effective functioning of
the body and a healthier
body means a happier life!
So, if you haven’t already,
go to the nearest water
cooler and pour yourself a
large glass of water;
hapeeeeee new year yah all..i
& i pray jah gv yah ur hrt
desire...AMEN
