Water is very important to the body, not just because it feels good to drink it, but because it helps keep us alive and healthy. People who drink enough water are healthy people, generally speaking, and those who do not are likely to suffer the following troubles…
1. CONSTIPATION
Constipation is simply having difficulty stooling. This condition is mostly caused by a lack of sufficient water in the body. The intestines need water to aid digestion. When water isn’t sufficient in the body, the colon uses up the ones the intestines would have worked with, thereby, making it difficult for proper digestion to take place.
2. YOU RARELY URINATE
Naturally, you pass more urine when you drink much water. So, when you start urinating less, it’s probably because you lack enough water in your system — and that is not really good because urine is one of the ways the body rids itself of toxic waste.
3. YOU EXPERIENCE DIGESTIVE PROBLEMS
A lack of enough water in the body would cause stomach acid to cause serious harm inside the body. This results to problems like heartburn and indigestion
4. YOU SUFFER FROM SICKNESSES OFTEN
The body needs enough water to continually flush out harmful toxins from the body. When you do not provide it with enough water, it cannot perform this task well. Also, when one is dehydrared, the body borrows water from places it can find some, like the blood for example, and that can open up doors for more dangerous sicknesses and diseases.
5. JOINT PAINS
The cartilages and spinal discs in the body contain about 80% water. This is to ensure that the bones do not grind against each other as we walk or move around. Keeping the body hydrated makes sure that our bones and joints are strong enough to withstand activities like running, jumping, etc.
6. DRYNESS OF THE MOUTH, SKIN AND EYES
Remember that sticky feeling of dryness you get in your mouth? It’s as a result of a lack of enough water in your body. Not drinking enough water can also make the skin dry. When you do not have enough water in your system, you tend to sweat less. What that implies is that your body would not be able to rid itself of toxins. Over time, this would cause the skin to dry up as well. Finally, by not drinking enough water, you risk suffering dryness of the eyes as well. This is due to a dry-up of the tear ducts.
7. YOU EXPERIENCE REGULAR THIRST
Whenever the body lacks enough water, it makes this known via a couple of ways — thirst is one of them.
So you’ve seen some of the troubles that accompany dehydration. If you consciously or subconsciously do not drink enough water, you would be doing yourself a lot of good by changing that today.
