Benefits of Drinking Water

Knowing the benefits of drinking plenty of water a day might just convince us, and myself included, in taking the habit religiously.  Our body is 2/3 water; our brain is 90% water, blood is 83%, muscle is 75%, and bone is 22%.  Water plays a vital role in transporting nutrients and oxygen into the cells, moisturizing the air in the lungs, helping with the metabolism, protecting the vital organs, and regulates the body temperature, among many other vital functions.

Here are some of the benefits listed in the website  www.magosteen-natural-remedies.com:

  1. Aids in weight loss.  Water flushes down the by-products of fat breakdown, reduces hunger and more importantly has zero calories.
  2. Natural remedy for headache.  One of the causes of headache and back pain is dehydration, and water is the perfect solution to relieve such condition.
  3. Better Productivity at work. As the brain is 90% water, drinking lots of water helps us think better, be more alert and concentrated.
  4. Better exercise. Water helps fuel the muscles, and regulate body temperature during exercise.
  5. Helps in digestion and constipation. Drinking water aids in digestion, thus, raising metabolism.
  6. Promotes good health. Water improves the body's immune system. It helps fight against flu, kidney stones and heart attack.
  7. Relieves fatigue. Water helps flush out toxins and waste products in the body and aids the organs with their  functions. It helps the heart pump out oxygenated blood, and lack of water tires the heart and so does the other body organs.
  8. Reduces risk of cancer.  Water dilutes the concentration of cancer-causing agents in the urine, thus reducing the risk of bladder and colon cancer.

So friends, let's drink to that.
Take the healthier habit.

Live. Love. Matter.
