Do Not Wait For Thirst, It Is The Beginning Of Dehydration

Water is one of the keys for the regulation of metabolism, and since the cells penetrate slowly, drink before you feel thirsty, and know that juices cannot replace the body’s most needed product – clean water.

The health benefits of drinking water have been known for centuries. In addition to oxygen, water is one of the most important elements to sustain life on Earth.

Dangerous dehydration

Around 66 percent of the human body consists of water, which is needed for a proper function of the body. Dehydration is dangerous because it causes a problem for all body circulation, and the first sign of water shortage is general tiredness and fatigue. Dehydration seriously endangers the life, and it can become chronic, which is a long – term problem. Lack of water always opens the way to a kidney infection, and even the attacks of kidney stones, which is especially a problem in summer when temperatures are high. Water eliminates toxins and therefore is an elementary defense against aging, it is also ideal for complexion.

Daily requirement: 20 grams of water per kilogram

It is believed that the minimum daily water requirement of an adult with low physical activity is about 20 – 25 grams of water per kilogram of body weight, which means that a man of 75 kilograms must drink at least 1500 to 1875 grams, i.e. 1.5 – 1.9 liters of water a day. In case of increased physical activity and at higher air temperature the need for water is much higher.

The consequences of poor nutrition, smoking and alcohol can partly mitigate the proper hydration. Water plays an important role in all processes of the body: “lubricates” the organs and tissues, regulates temperature, washes the toxins, moisturizes the skin, feeds the joints, bones and muscles, carries nutrients to vital organs, improves the function of the glands and hormones, relieves the liver of excess fat and reduces hunger. Water is a basic ingredient of all body fluids, constitutes 92 percent of the blood and cerebrospinal fluid, 98 percent of the intestinal, gastric and pancreatic juices and saliva glands.

A man can live without food for a month, but without water it quickly dies.
