Blog An adult human body consists of 60 per cent water. Water is essential to fulfil our vital activities. Drinking plenty of water is a habit and you should not wait for thirst to drink water. Because the feeling of thirst is one of the reactions of thirst in the body.
With the increase in air temperatures in summer, the body’s fluid needs also change. It is recommended to consume an average of 2-3 litres of water a day to meet the increasing fluid loss with the warming of the weather. If our body loses excessive amounts of water, dehydration occurs. Dehydration means that the body loses the fluid it needs. Liquids such as soft drinks, acidic drinks, alcohol, tea, coffee cannot meet the body’s water needs. On the contrary, they cause the body to need more water. Since they quench thirst, they negatively affect the habit of water consumption. Therefore, conscious water consumption is important.
Drinking insufficient water brings many health problems. These include;
Fatigue: Water is one of the most important sources of energy in your body. Dehydration slows down the body, leading to fatigue and weakness.
Skin Problems: Dehydration impairs the removal of toxins through the skin and makes it vulnerable to all kinds of skin problems.
High Cholesterol: When the body is dehydrated, it tries to prevent further water loss from the cell by increasing the cholesterol level.
Digestive Disorders: Deficiency of water and alkaline minerals leads to many digestive system problems such as gastritis, ulcers and reflux.
Urinary Tract Problems: The accumulation of toxins and waste acid provides an environment for bacteria to thrive, resulting in the kidneys and bladder being more prone to pain and infection.
Constipation: In the absence of water, the large intestine is responsible for providing water for critical functions of the body. When water is insufficient, waste materials begin to move very slowly through the intestine, leading to constipation.
Weight Gain: Your body cannot effectively flush out toxins and stores them inside the fat cells. In addition, if the body cannot safely remove toxins with sufficient water, it does not release the fat cell and you start to gain weight.
Premature Ageing: When the body is chronically dehydrated, organs and even the skin, the largest organ of the body, begin to wrinkle and give signs of premature aging.
In addition, decreased water in the body leads to digestive system disorders, impaired mental performance, decreased body movements and headaches. Loss of 15 per cent of the amount of fluid in the body after prolonged thirst can lead to coma and even loss of life.
