9 Life Saving Reasons You Should Be Drinking Way More Water

Everyday millions of people are told the same thing, you should drink more water. Whether it’s from a doctor or a friend, but everyone isn’t drinking enough. There may be conjecture as to how much you should be drinking, but if you’re not at least drinking one or two bottles a day, you’re way behind on the quota. There are some amazing reasons you should probably be drinking way more water, and while some may argue that they are doing enough, it’s really not true across the majority of people today. It’s with that in mind that the following 10 reasons have been compiled.

#1  Your Brain is Watery

No, no it’s not literally water, nor is it “wet” brain. However, the brain is in fluid, underneath the cranium. Drinking more water has been shown to increase memory, energy, and focus. When you’re lacking it, the body shuts down certain processes and in extreme cases your brain will suffer from concentration issues, and could even cause you to lose cognitive reflexes.

#2  Helps With Digestion

Like a spoonful of fiber cereal, water helps with the digestion and processing of food. You will find that it can help with bowel movements, and establish better pH levels in the stomach. It can also give you a nudge when you’re full, so that you don’t over eat. It also helps with absorption of nutrients and balances the body’s digestion on several levels.

#3 Cools You Down

Sweat is the body’s’ natural response to overheating. When you drink water, the body excretes the sweat through glands all over the skin. This helps with not only cooling your temperature down, but also helps with the release of toxicity in your body. The next time someone speaks to the notion of “sweating” it out, you can oblige.

#4 Anti-Aging Properties

Simply put, this helps with the immune system. The body needs water at all levels, from the organs to skeletal framework, joints, and more. When you have enough water in the body, all the systems including the immune system work at proper homeostasis. That means that the bioavailability of nutrients gets pushed, and you could even stave off sicknesses like cold, flu, and even cancer.

#6 Headache Relieving Elements

Instead of reaching for aspirin, you’ll find that a good remedy to relieve a headache is to reach for more water. Most people complain about headaches due in large part to the lack of water that they’re consuming. When dehydrated, you will find that a major symptom is none other than headaches.

#7  Lubrication For The Joints

Your joints need lubrication in order to work at top level. When you aren’t drinking enough water, the joints and muscles cramp up and cause issues when involved in any athletic endeavor. Lubricating the right areas gives your body a stretch and pull that it needs to reduce pain, sprains, and injuries.

#8 The Mood Enhancer
