Drink more water

The extraordinary rising temperature which is said to be caused by global warming is now setting people on edge.

Just before midday each day, the sun is already up, shining too brightly, hot and scorching and beating down savagely mercilessly and savagely on both man, animals and plants. In some places in certain parts of the world, the daily temperature is now climbing above 40°C !

This too-hot weather condition has continued to drive many crazy and leaving people sweating profusely, whether one is directly under the harsh glares of the sun or away from it.

Now, the heat waves caused by the rising temperature causes dehydration in humans beings.

Dehydration is simply put to be to lose too much water in one's body. This could deprive the muscles and cells in the body enough water that is needed for them to function properly, hereby making rehydration difficult.

If the water in the body is drained, it affects all the body systems, especially the cardiovascular system and it could lead to death.

Once the body water is gone, the cells are also drained and they will not be able to function properly.

Even the human brain too. If the human body is adversely dehydrated, that found impede the functionability of the brain and such individual could have a mirage, go into a coma or could in worse cases die.

A baby's body is made up of about 60% water and I'm guessing this is because some of its internal organs and tissues are not yet fully matured yet; while an adult body is made up of about 35-40% water and a lot of body tissues.

When people are exposed to certain degrees of high temperature, they start to feel dehydrated as well as get cranky and worked up. Then the body sends a signal that it is thirsty and needs water, urging people to go for water.

It is important that we increase our water intake, as we tend to sweat a lot especially during these hot seasons 3-5 liters or 8 glasses of water a day is the recommended amount to remain hydrated at all times.

Water also helps to maintain fluid balance in the body. It also helps in the removal of toxins and waste products from the body which could be really harmful to the body if not removed. Another function of water is that It helps in blood circulation in the body. Water also helps in the digestion of the food we eat.

We as humans have to work and hustle almost everyday to make ends meet which means we might be in the sun for long periods of time depending on the nature of the job but then we should try as much as we can to stay in cold places and avoid staying in the sun for long.

Use a good sunblock that has about 30% SPF( Sun Protection Formula) or more. Wear sunshades to protect your eyes from the harsh glares of the sun. Take a lot of fruits that contain water for example watermelons, cucumbers and pineapples.

Now moving on to the immune system; the immune system is called the body's defence mechanism that provides resistance to infections and toxins and to prevent them from harming the body and making us sick.

I like to call them the body's army.

Take care of your immune system; build your immune system.

Take more of organically grown fruits and vegetables. Taking a fruit is better, healthier and more beneficial to the body than taking a fruit drink because fruit drinks tend to contain added sugars and preservatives.

You might ask, when should we drink water?

We ought to drink water when we wake up.Start your day with a prayer and a glass of water.

Take a glass of water 30 seconds before meal or after meals.

Water helps in portion control, so if you drink a glass of water before eating a meal, you tend to eat less food. I personally do this one. I make sure I take about 1-2 glasses of water before dinner everyday before dinner so I don't eat much.

I also take water at regular intervals during the day.

In fact, drink water at regular intervals; do not wait until you feel thirsty before you drink water.

A water bottle should be in handy always.

Take care of your health in general and stay safe.
