Proper Hydration for the Body

Understanding the Value of Proper Hydration for the Body

  • 07 Sep 2020

The most vital but oft-neglected basic human need is water. Even just minor dehydration can cause the body to operate at sub-optimal levels. Over a few days, it can cause serious health concerns and maybe even death. Just some of these health concerns are as follows:

  • Headaches
  • Poor sleep quality
  • Fatigue
  • Worsened cognitive functions
  • Bad skin
  • Painful urination

There is not a single cell in the body that does not need water. However, many people don’t know that there is more to good hydration than just drinking eight glasses of water a day. It also matters when you drink the water. Research has shown that drinking two cups of water from a water pitcher with a filter before a meal can help with more efficient digestion, speeding up a person’s metabolic rate and their capacity to lose weight.

 

develop better drinking habits

How can I develop better drinking habits?

One thing many people don’t know about the human body is that it often confuses thirst for hunger. More often than not, when you feel those pangs of hunger, your body is thirsty rather than hungry. Before you start snacking on those crisps, try to drink one or two glasses of water first. If you are still hungry after hydrating, then your body does need food; if you find yourself satisfied, then perhaps you were just thirsty all along.

If you have trouble remembering to drink water, it might do you well to set some alarms on your phone. There are also plenty of apps that can serve as reminders for you to drink water at designated times.

We’ve also mentioned before how drinking 2 cups of water from a pitcher with a filter before a meal can help boost your metabolism and speed up your weight loss. Add one more glass of water after meals, and you just might end up fulfilling your daily water needs, especially if you eat three meals a day.

 

exercise and physical activity

Exercise and physical activity presents some concerns

When involved in physical activity, the body may lose up to 25 per cent of its stored water with just one hour of exercise. Without proper hydration, your muscles can tire out much faster, and you could lose coordination. If you weren’t well-hydrated before your workout, you might risk cramps, as up to 75 per cent of lean muscle tissue is water.

Make sure to have a good supply of water before, during, and after your workout. Beyond hydration, your body also loses precious electrolytes through sweat, which are integral to muscle functions. Most sports drinks have these in spades, so it might be useful to consider some of these when you’re working out or playing sports.

 

water is the most important resource of the human body

In conclusion

Water is the most important resource of the human body. It is responsible for the healthy operation of every single one of the body’s systems, from circulation to cognitive functions. As such, it is crucial to keep a pitcher of filtered water close by, not just when you’re working out, but also when you’re eating, working, or just relaxing.
