Are you drinking your H2O?

The human body is 60 – 70 percent of water. Humans can survive without food for 2 whole months but can only go few days without water before bodily functions are compromised. Water flushes out toxic in the body while keeping essential organs wet so as to function effectively.

8 to 10 glasses of water consumption daily helps the body breathe, because it moistens the lungs. (Lung functions use up to a pint of water daily, decreasing body fluid through exhalation).

Having a glass of water before is very advisable b, because it helps the body replenish the fluids it loses throughout the day from normal activities.

Since the H2O is so vital for the day to day function of the human body, it is very important to know the symptoms of dehydration. A dry and sticky mouth, sunken eyes, lack of tears in the eyes, little or no urine output, lethargy and in some cases disco ordination , are the obvious signs that says the bodily functions are beginning to get compromised.

If the obvious symptoms are ignored over time, it subsequently results to gain of excess body fat, poor muscle tone as well as decrease ability to digest food.

Note: If you are extremely thirsty and dehydrated, drink cold water instead of warm or hot water because it has been proven that the body absorbs cold water more quickly.
