Water keeps every system in the body functioning properly. Our body requires an adequate number of fluids to function properly.
💦 Water has many important roles in your body such as
👉Carrying nutrients and oxygen to your cells
👉Flushing bacteria from your bladder
👉Aiding digestion
👉Preventing constipation
👉Normalising blood pressure
👉Stabilizing the heart beat
👉Cushioning the joints
👉Protecting the organs and tissues
👉Regulating the body temperature
👉Maintaining the electrolyte balance
💦 It is highly recommended to drink at least 8 to 10 glasses of water per day. One may need to drink more if engaging in strenuous exercises..
💦 Giving the body enough fluids to carry out these tasks means that one is staying hydrated. If we don't drink enough water, we risk becoming dehydrated. Severe dehydration causes serious health problems like brain strokes, stomach ulcers, low blood pressure, brain fog, indigestion, constipation, nausea, confusion etc..
💦 The amount of water a person needs varies based on their age, size, activities and their body temperature. You can stay hydrated by drinking water and certain foods can also help you stay hydrated , especially those with high water content such as cucumbers, melons, tomatoes, gourds, bell peppers, berries, spinach, lettuce, grapes, oranges, lemons, tender coconut, palm fruit(ice apple) etc. 🍉🍐🍇🍋🍈🍅🫑🍊🥬
