The Benefits of Water

You know that we’re going to have to bring up the “w” word. Yes, water. I'm talking about the benefits of water. Water is often over-looked as a nutrient. People who do not drink enough water often feel lethargic; have headaches, muscle aches and cramps. Many people do not know how much water they really need during a day.

How much water you need depends on your activity level, how many foods that you eat that are high in water content and if you drink alcohol, caffeine and your weight. A good rule of thumb is the traditional 64 ounces per day. That’s 8-8 oz. glasses of water. If you are very active or drink a lot of coffee, you will need more water. Coffee and alcohol do not count as fluids in your diet. I actually had a client ask me if the water in his scotch and water counted toward his fluids for the day. The answer is….NO!!!!

Water is one of the most important elements of the human body. It makes up approximately 70 percent of our muscles, and about 75 percent of our brains. It is also an essential part of a healthy diet and plays a vital role in the proper functioning of the body. Some of the benefits of water include:

Transports essential nutrients throughout the body and rids the body of waste
Acts as a lubricant for the body, moistening eyes, mouth, nose, and skin
Helps maintain adequate blood volume
Helps regulate body temperature, especially in warm weather
Helps prevent constipation
Helps medications to work
Helps prevent urinary tract infections
Acts as an appetite suppressant
Is calorie-free
Boosts metabolism when drunk cold

Be sure to reward your body with plenty of pure, fresh water. As you can see, there are so many benefits to drinking water.
