Water is the most important substance on the planet. Life was created in water and it is the basic substance that we take into the body. Of all the water on Earth, only 0.4% is available as drinking water. Environmental changes, due to industrialization and global warming, pose a great danger to the preservation of water and our health. Therefore, one should think daily about water intake, its quality and prevention of environmental pollution.
Water makes up about 80% of our body at birth, and an average of 60% in adulthood. The total amount of water varies depending on body weight, age, sex and the presence of adipose tissue. An obese person can have up to 30% less water in the body than a normally fed person of the same age.
Water is a key factor in maintaining the structure and function of all tissues. Approximately 2/3 of the total water in the body is in the cells, and ⅓ in the extracellular space.
The roles of water in the body are numerous: it is the main solvent and carrier of nutrients, plays an important role in circulation, participates in all metabolic processes and removal of harmful substances from the body, helps digestion and regular bowel movements, plays a key role in thermoregulation and participates in maintenance electrolyte balance and acid-base balance.
Did you know that you can lose weight with the help of water? Here's how.
When you drink water only as your basic beverage, extraordinary things can happen. Taking a special water regime is not easy to achieve for some, but positive consequences are possible. Here's what can happen when you drink only water for 30 days without changing your diet or exercise.
We take in as much as a third of our daily calories in liquid form - from coffee and dairy drinks to juices and alcohol. But what happens in the body if we give up such drinks for a month and turn only to water, possibly unsweetened tea?
Eat fewer calories
A cup of sugary tea contains about 150 calories, while a large coffee with milk and sugar has about 250 calories, and half a liter of juice has about 300 calories. Water has 0 calories.
Suppression of appetite
Appetite is much more controlled while drinking only water. This can be attributed to the favorable action of water, which causes a feeling of greater satiety.
Also, various juices, coffee and alcoholic beverages have a high level of sugar, which causes a rise in blood sugar levels, and then a sudden drop in it, which still results in an increased feeling of hunger. If we don’t ingest them, there’s no attacking hunger.
Benefits for the wallet
Even if you do not use tap water but only buy water, you will still get cheaper than with other drinks.
Regular digestion
If you drink a glass of water after waking up, you will start the "engines" of the body. Studies have shown that drinking 500 ml of water in the morning increases the metabolic rate by 30 percent in men and women. This contributes to waking up, higher calorie consumption, faster digestion ...
Cleanses the skin
Although it sounds like an urban myth, water has been proven to be the best drink for a cleaner complexion. As the liver and kidneys expel excess toxins from the body, if we give them a break from filtering coffee, alcohol and sugar and "fill" them with water only, the cells become better helped by oxygen, and the skin is cleansed.
AND BECAUSE OF ALL THIS, DRINK ONLY WATER, TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ITS BENEFITS.
