BENEFITS OF DRINKING A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF WATER

Water is such a great mystery that three-quarters of the world we live in is water and we have not yet discovered even 95% of this huge area. The ecosystem cannot survive without water. While the universe has established this fascinating order on its own, it is not surprising that we do not adapt to this order. Today, an adult human’s body consists of 60% water on average, while an adult’s brain consists of 85% water. . Therefore, in order to protect the quality of our lives and the health of future generations, we must protect water resources from air, water, soil and even noise pollution, and we must not forget to drink the amount of water our body needs every day.

EFFECTS OF THIRST

I wanted to start with a few scientific facts to draw attention to how important water is for our world and our body, because we hear cliché words almost every day about how important it is to drink water, but is what we hear really true or are there any harms in drinking water? How many liters of water should we consume in a day? How can we make drinking water a habit during the day? We will try to answer your questions like these today.

1- DEHYDRATION CAUSES STRESS

We all find ourselves in stress these days in the hustle and bustle of life with work and school, but there is an easier way to control stress and anxiety than going to high-priced therapies and using psychological drugs that have severe side effects, and that is to drink water. (Here we are definitely not saying that you should drink water instead of your medication. If you need it, continue to use your medications under the supervision of a doctor) because, as we said at the beginning of our article, 85% of the human brain consists of water, and just like a sponge, when our brain is exposed to stress or anxiety, the water in the brain The level is starting to decrease and a glass of water will be your savior at just such a moment. We can help you calm down by balancing your brain water level. We can say that our custom of offering water to people who are scared or panicked is correct and that such a scientific fact lies behind it.

2- WE FEEL UNHAPPY WHEN WE ARE THIRSTY

3- DRINKING WATER IS VITAL, REALLY!

Kidneys and liver help to remove harmful substances from the body. If we do not drink enough water, harmful substances in the body cannot be eliminated from the body, the amount of urine decreases accordingly and its color may darken. Kidney stone formation as a result of accumulation of excess minerals in the body, hepatitis and liver damage as a result of accumulation of harmful substances in the liver. Moreover, most of the blood circulating through the vascular system consists of water molecules. Blood carries the oxygen needed for cells that carry energy to the body. If water consumption is insufficient, blood volume may decrease, blood circulation speed slows down, blood becomes thicker, arrhythmia develops, blood pressure drops and fainting may occur due to low blood pressure. Accordingly, the amount of blood flowing to the heart and other organs in the body may decrease, and the darkened blood causes the vessels to become blocked. Especially in case of blockages in small vessels such as our vital brain vessels and coronary heart vessels, you can cause diseases such as heart attack and stroke.

4- DRINK WATER AND HIDE YOUR SMILE

Have you heard that drinking insufficient water reduces our Golgi apparatus, which allows us to secrete saliva? For this reason, no matter what you do to clean the inside of your mouth, even if you brush your teeth 10 times, it will still not be enough. Otherwise, you cannot prevent unpleasant and disturbing bad breath. At least 8 glasses of water a day will help eliminate bad breath and you will not have to hide your beautiful smile.

5- DRINK WATER AND PROTECT YOURSELF FROM CANCER

As we all know, reflux and gastritis are some of the dangerous diseases that negatively affect a person’s quality of life and can even turn into cancer if not treated properly in time. The most important cause of these diseases is the secretion of high amounts of acid in the stomach. However, by drinking enough water, we can have the opportunity to prevent the acid secretion of the stomach from damaging the stomach and esophagus walls. In other words, we increase our quality of life by protecting our body from a deadly disease such as cancer.

6- HOW MUCH WATER SHOULD A PERSON DRINK AND HOW MUCH WATER DOES THE AVERAGE HUMAN BODY LOSE IN A DAY?

According to the average human body, an average of 1500 ml of water is lost every day through urine, 400 ml through sweat and evaporation, 200 ml through feces, and an average of 300 ml through respiration to improve the quality of breathing. On average, our body loses 2500 ml of water every day. In the summer season, this rate may be higher than our previous data. The water we get from food is only enough to meet 20-30% of this need. For a healthy life, we must drink 2-3 liters of water a day. Of course, these are data determined by scientists for the average person. If you are going to make drinking water official, you can easily find out the amount of water you need in a day according to your height, weight, age and gender by typing ‘ calculating the amount of water needed ‘ on the internet.
