WATER AND HEALTH: THE RELATIONSHIP THAT HELPS LIFE

Do you know that water is second in importance only to the air that we breathe? Do you also know that our body is about 66 per cent water, our muscles are 75 per cent water and our brain is over 78 per cent water!. I doubt.

Everyone is told that water and health are related, but very few people understand why. Your body is made up of mostly water and it is am important necessity you must replenish daily.
Water helps your body flush out toxins and other things from your system that are no longer needed. It also helps to carry cells through your blood stream, and even if you experience dry eyes and sinuses.
Most of us have heard that drinking eight glasses of water is recommended, but you may need more or less then this. It does not fit with everyone’s personal needs, but for most people this idea will work very well since you urinate about this amount of liquid out of your system.
You need to stay hydrated because your whole body relies heavily on water to function. While the eight glasses work for most people, you need to listen to your own body and drink what you need. Exercise and lifestyle can affect this as well.
If you find that even drinking water you still feel thirsty and need it more often and that you urinate frequently, go see a doctor. This can be a sign of other illnesses that needs to be checked out so you can stay healthy.
Because of the flushing that water does in your system, you need to drink enough that you not only feel no thirst, but enough so your urine is clear or slightly yellowish. It helps make organs work less hard and allows you to keep toxins from building up in your system, since they are easily flushed out.
Water and health are closely connected, and by drinking enough of the latter, you can assist your in body working without any stress to the system, ensure you have proper blood flow. Water can help you feel better and keep your skin beautiful, and everything working well.
Water benefits are extraordinary. Maybe you already know some of the health benefits, but do you know what water amount or water intake will give you the absolute optimum water health benefit.

 The Right Quantity for Your System

Studies on water intake show conflicting recommendations. So how are you supposed to know which water amount is best for you?

Although no single formula for water intake fits everyone, there are simple ways to figure out your water amount needs based on:
1. Your physical activity,
2. Where you live,
3. Your health.

What Is Best for You?
Every single cell and system in your body depends on water to operate properly. Even though you could survive for over a month without food, you can only go about 3 days without water.

Your body needs sufficient water intake to:
• Prevent constipation.
• Help flushing out waste.
• Keep your joints lubricated.
• Regulate your body temperature.
• Protect the body organs and tissues.
• Carry nutrients and oxygen to your cells.
• Help dissolve nutrients for your body to use.
• Keep tissues (in eyes, nose, mouth, etc.) moist.
So, is your water intake enough?

May be NO! Most people depend on soda, coffee, fruit drinks and alcohol for their liquid intake. But these substitutes don’t offer all the great water benefits.

Alcohol and caffeine even increase your water needs.

It takes an average of nine cups a day to replace the water that your body uses and loses. People living in dry climates need even more. Plus, your water requirements increase when you exercise, sweat a lot or you’re sick with a fever, diarrhea or vomiting. ??Since fresh fruits and vegetables are 80% to 95% water, a diet rich in high fiber foods can help replenish the daily water amount you lose.

About nine cups of fluids a day for women and 13 for men is recommended. To make sure your water intake is enough, it’s best to get at least eight of those daily cups from clean safe water.

Can you drink too much water? It’s not likely.

Although endurance athletes have been known to drink so much, they dilute the mineral content (electrolytes) in their blood (hyponatremia), this would be highly unlikely for most people, especially if you’re eating plenty of healthy fruits and vegetables with minerals. ?

Water Benefits Your Health and Fitness?

Drinking pure water is like taking a fountain-of-youth wonder drug. In optimum doses you can produce these miraculous results:
• Lose weight more easily,
• Burn fat and build muscle,
• Have younger looking skin,
• Reduce joint or muscle pain,
• Flush Toxins from your body,
• Increase energy and alertness,
• Lower your risk for heart attacks,
• Improve digestion and elimination,
• Decrease headaches and dizziness,
• Reduce risk of disease and infections,
• Improve mental clarity and performance.
And getting all of these great water benefits is cheap, calorie-free, convenient and an easy way to greatly improve your health. ??

KNOW YOUR BODY PARTS: The Liver The liver is a vital organ located in the right upper abdomen, playing a crucial role in metabolism, detoxification, and digestion. It’s the largest solid organ in the body and is responsible for filtering blood, maintaining blood sugar levels, regulating clotting, and synthesizing essential proteins. The liver also stores energy, removes toxins, and produces bile, which aids in digestion Liver functions: · Metabolism and Detoxification: The liver processes nutrients from the blood, breaks down and balances them, and creates essential substances for the body. It detoxifies harmful substances like drugs and alcohol, converting them into less toxic forms for excretion. The liver plays a role in the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. It stores glycogen (a form of glucose) and vitamins, releasing them when the body needs them. · Digestion: The liver produces bile, which is stored in the gallbladder and released into the small intestine to help digest fats. Bile also helps in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. · Blood Regulation: The liver regulates blood sugar levels by storing and releasing glucose. It synthesizes clotting factors, which are essential for blood clotting. It removes old red blood cells and processes bilirubin, a byproduct of red blood cell breakdown. · Other Functions: The liver plays a role in immunity, helping to fight off infections. It produces proteins that are involved in the immune response. The liver also stores iron and other essential minerals. Frequently Asked Questions About The Liver · What are the first signs of a bad liver? The initial signs of liver problems can be vague and subtle, often including fatigue, nausea, and loss of appetite. As the liver’s condition worsens, more specific symptoms may emerge, such as jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), itchy skin, dark urine, and light-colored stools. Abdominal pain, especially in the upper right quadrant, can also indicate liver issues. · Where do you feel liver pain? Liver pain is typically felt in the upper right abdomen, just beneath the rib cage. It can manifest as a dull, throbbing pain, a stabbing sensation, or a general feeling of discomfort in that area. In some cases, liver pain might be felt as an ache in the right shoulder or back. · What does liver pain feel like? How liver pain feels can vary from person to person, depending on the cause. However, most people often develop one or more of the following symptoms: Dull, persistent aches in the upper abdomen A feeling of fullness or bloating Sharp, stabbing pains that come and go Tenderness when the upper abdomen is touched · What is the best way to cleanse your liver? If you haven’t been working out, start indulging in a regular exercise regime to allow the toxins to come out of your body. Yoga, going running, hitting the gym, or a simple sauna session can also prove effective. If you want a natural liver cleanse, sweating is the way to go. · How to know if the liver is swollen? What are the symptoms of an enlarged liver? You likely won’t notice an enlarged liver on your own. In some severe cases, you might notice a feeling of bloating or fullness in your belly or an ache in your upper right abdomen. · What is the best drink to flush your liver? Many citrus fruits, including lemon, can be added to water to help stimulate and flush out the liver. Lemons are high in nutrients like vitamin C and antioxidants
