How Water Intake Impacts Your Health
• The human body is made up of around 60% water, and maintaining that level is essential for our health. • Water creates the environment needed for our body to function and work the way that helps us do our best. • To maintain it, experts recommend drinking around 2 liters of water every day. • The general rule is to drink 8 eight-ounce glasses of water (called the 8×8 rule). • Let’s look at some benefits that we can get by taking a healthy amount of water each day: Maximized Physical Performance • Maintaining the water levels inside the body is key to maximize physical performance. • Dehydration takes hold when the body loses around 2% of its water. Athletes, on the other hand, can lose from 6-10% of water due to sweat and exertion. • Loss in water can make you lose weight, impair temperature control, increase fatigue, and reduce motivation. • Moreover, staying hydrated can help reduce oxidative stress inside the body. • Thus, getting the most out of your body requires you to keep it well hydrated. Maintains Your Energy • Your brain’s performance and function rely significantly on hydration. • Even mild hydration, which can mean losing 1-3% of your body’s water, can massively impair the brain’s activity. • Fluid loss from the body has also been linked to a decrease in working memory. • It is also believed to result in increased anxiety. • Dehydration can also affect your mood. • Maintaining hydration is thus essential for brain performance. Helps Avoid Headaches • Dehydration is a major cause of headaches and migraines. • Beyond that, drinking more water can help relieve headaches and avoid more of them. • According to one study, drinking an extra 1.5 liters of water every day can help relieve migraines and improve Migraine Quality of Life.
