60 to 75% of your physical body is water. Humans can live for a month or longer without food; yet we can only live for 3 or 4 days without water. Every function in your body takes place in water. It is the solvent that delivers nutrients, hormones, antibodies and oxygen to your cells and carries waste material away. If you are not drinking enough water, every metabolic function in your body is compromised.
Your brain is approximately 90% water. Proper hydration is important for concentration, memory, clarity and overall mental performance. Headaches, depression, fatigue, poor memory and other mental deficits can be related to dehydration.
Your digestive system requires adequate water in order to properly digest food. Increasing the amount of water you drink can alleviate common digestive symptoms such as heartburn (gastroesophageal reflux disease), gastritis and constipation. Additionally, water is an essential component of any weight loss program.
Your kidneys are constantly filtering your blood, concentrating the wastes, and eliminating them in the urine. Without sufficient water intake, the kidneys have to work much harder in order to reabsorb water from the urine. Over time, dehydration compromises the efficiency of the kidneys and the liver has to compensate for the inefficiency of the kidneys. The extra burden on the liver decreases it’s ability to process and eliminate waste material efficiently, leading to weight gain and inflammation as waste material is dumped into your tissues (fat, joints, muscles) instead of being eliminated.
Your heart is 75% water and your blood is 85% water. Proper hydration increases the efficiency of the cardiovascular system and is an important factor in lowering blood pressure and cholesterol and maintaining healthy blood vessels. Your lungs are moistened by water as they take in oxygen and excrete carbon dioxide and other wastes. Adequate hydration may decrease allergy and asthma symtoms.
Your bones are 22% water and your muscles are 75% water. The connective tissue surrounding joints requires adequate water in order to maintain its elasticity and allow ease of movement. The discs in your back are composed of water which serves to support 75% of your upper body weight. Adequate water intake can significantly reduce or alleviate the pain associated with arthritis and back pain.
Adults lose 2 to 3 quarts of water per day! It is recommended that you drink ½ ounce of water for every pound of body weight – i.e. a 140 lb person should drink 70 oz of water per day. There is no substitute for drinking just plain water. Other beverages contain water but they have to be metabolized before the body can use the water. Additionally, other beverages add calories and can cause you to lose your taste for water.
