The Importance Of Keeping Yourself Hydrated
Posted in News, Promotional Products on 19.08.15 by John Meloche
It’s a hot and muggy day today in the City of Toronto, where Synergy Marketing makes its headquarters. Now, we’re not ones to complain. We haven’t forgotten how cold the winter is. We love summer and hope we have many more weeks of it left! However, with that said, it’s important to remember that when the temperatures rise and the humidity rises with it, we should all be taking measures to beat the heat.
Arguably, the most important way to get through a humid day is to stay hydrated. Yes, the importance of drinking water should not be underestimated. It is a mandatory part of our lives, needed each and every day. If you’ve spent even one day not drinking any water – and, to be honest, we know a lot of people like this! – you’re certainly not doing your body any favours. Let it be made clear: you need to drink water!
According to Jeff Behar of BodyBuilding.com, water is the single most critical nutrient for our bodies’ health, growth and development. “The human brain is composed of 95% water; blood is 82% water; the lungs are nearly 90% water,” he informs us, “It is not only the most important nutrient in the body, but also the most abundant. Water is critical to the balance of all the body’s systems, including the brain, heart, lungs, kidneys and muscles.”
Still not convinced that drinking water is mandatory? To put it bluntly, you would die without it. Now, most people know this. But many still take drinking water for granted. They feel that if they are thirsty, they can go to many other tastier beverages to quench their thirst. But it needs to be understood that water is needed for good health. And we’re talking about water that is free of any sugars or unnecessary carbonation.
“Your body depends on water to survive,” states FamilyDoctor.org, “Every cell, tissue, and organ in your body needs water to work correctly. For example, your body uses water to maintain its temperature, remove waste, and lubricate joints.” Clearly, it’s important to remember that drinking water – especially on hot days – isn’t just a matter of quenching thirst. Keep in mind that your body is replenishing its supply of water which it is constantly losing.
As FamilyDoctor.org points out, “water makes up more than half of your body weight. You lose water each day when you go to the bathroom, sweat, and even when you breathe. You lose water even faster when the weather is really hot, when you are physically active, or if you have a fever. Vomiting and diarrhea can also lead to rapid water loss. If you don’t replace the water you lose, you can become dehydrated.”
Behar definitely agrees. In fact, he explains just how detrimental it is to our health to omit water from regular consumption. “A 2% drop in body water can cause a small but critical shrinkage of the brain, which can impair neuromuscular coordination, decrease concentration, and slow thinking,” he reveals, “Dehydration can also reduce endurance, decrease strength, cause cramping, and slow muscular response.”
