We all know that the body needs at least 8 glasses of water a
day. But do you know what can happen if you don’t drink the
necessary amount of water?
The golden rule says that two liters of water a day are
mandatory, but that rule is not respected by all. However,
less than eight glasses of water a day is a lot better than not
entering a drop of water all day.
Water is necessary for your body to function properly and is
necessary for the transport of oxygen and nutrients.
The Mayo Clinic says that water makes up 60% of our body
weight and every system in our body depends on it. “For
example, water flushes toxins out of vital organs, carries
nutrients to your cells and provides a moist environment for
ear, nose and throat tissues,” Mayo Clinic.
“Your metabolism is basically a series of chemical reactions
that take place in your body,” says Trent Nessler, who is
managing director of Baptist Sports Medicine. By drinking a
lot of water, one can keep their chemical reactions smoothly
running. Even being just 1% dehydrated can make ones
metabolism drop. Too little water can lead to dehydration.
Additionally, Water helps to decrease your appetite so it
helps you to not overeat. However, drinking a lot of water at
one time can backfire and actually make you gain weight.
