Drinking water is one of the most important things for a healthy body. It has multiple benefits. All cells and organs in the body need water to function properly.
Among the most prominent benefits of drinking water for the body are the following:
Prevents joint pain:
Long-term dehydration and lack of water can reduce the ability of joints to absorb shock, leading to joint pain.
Formation of saliva and mucus:
Saliva helps digest food and keeps the mouth, nose and eyes moist, and this prevents friction and damage. Drinking water also keeps the mouth clean and reduces tooth decay. It can be consumed in place of sweetened beverages and soft drinks.
It transports oxygen throughout the body:
Blood contains more than 90 percent water, and blood carries oxygen to various parts of the body.
Promotes skin health and beauty:
With dehydration, the skin can become more susceptible to skin disorders and premature wrinkles.
Affects the brain, spinal cord and other sensitive tissues:
Dehydration can affect brain structure and function, as it is involved in the production of hormones and neurotransmitters, and prolonged dehydration can lead to problems with thinking.
Regulates body temperature:
The water stored in the middle layers of the skin reaches the surface of the skin as sweat when the body heats up, and evaporates to cool the body. When there is less water in the body, heat storage increases and the individual is less able to withstand physical stress.
