As children we are told by our parents to “drink water everyday!” But do we really understand the positive effects water has to offer? Water makes up two thirds of who we are; it plays a large role in carrying out many different functions in the body.
Did you know that consistently drinking water throughout the day can improve your mood? The refreshing sensation a bottle of water supplies, actually improves our state of mind and helps keep us energized to fight off dehydration.
Dehydration causes us to feel dizzy, tired and can lead to severe headaches. Water helps keep us awake, aware and feeling our best throughout the day.
Drinking water is extremely important to anyone participating in sports or daily forms of exercise. Exercising causes us to release sweat; sweating is one of the leading forms of dehydration.
Our bodies hold a steady temperature of 98.6 F; when our body begins to overheat from being active, it causes us to sweat. So naturally sweating is a good thing, but the important part to focus on is replenishing the body afterwards with plenty of water.
Water also helps lower the rate of death from coronary heart disease. Beverages like soda and ice tea contain high levels of sugar, not improving your heart or blood levels. [While water helps strengthen your heart and the overall function of your body.]
A daily bottle of water can go a long way. It not only improves the function of our body but our state of mind as well. Water helps make us stronger, happier and healthier. It gives us the energy to start, conquer and finish our day!
