About water…

 

water essential

Water is the recommended fluid to satisfy thirst. It has many health benefits as a vital ingredient in the metabolism of our bodies.

Fluid balance

About 50-70 percent of the body is made of water. Water replenishes the body’s natural fluids, which can be depleted by caffeine, alcohol and other diuretics. It also helps transport nutrients through                                                                 the body and regulate body temperature.

Weight control

Water can even help people with weight loss as it helps to suppress appetite. Numerous researches have found a link between water consumption and losing a few pounds. The secret is simply because water helps people feel full, and as a result consume fewer calories.

Body Fuel

Drinking water increases the body’s resistance to stress and fatigue. When our muscles don’t have enough water, they get tired. So for those who often work out,  try drinking water for extra energy. For those who are working long hours, a glass of water could also help you concentrate and stay refreshed.

Clearer skin

Toxins from diet and exposure to pollution can cause the skin to inflame, which results in clogged pores and acne. Water flushes out these toxins and helps prevent pimples. Sufficient intake of water helps to reduce dryness and oiliness in skin, keeping it smooth and supple.

Illness fighter

Water may help with decongestion and dehydration, helping the body bounce back when feeling under the weather. Just beware—drinking fluids hasn’t been scientifically proven to beat colds in one swoop, so don’t swap this for a trip to the doctor or other cold remedies. Aching joints and muscle cramps and strains can all occur if the body is dehydrated .
