Water is essential for the human body to function
Most of us know it would be good for us to be drinking more water. But do we really understand why?
Did you know 66% of the human body is made up of water and 75% of the human brain is made up of water?
A human needs approx 2.5 litres of water a day, through food and drink – although you need to bear in mind that how much tea and coffee you drink, as they are also dehydrating, will affect how much you need.
Water is essential for the human body:
92% of blood is made up of water
The brain and muscles are made up of over 70% water
Bones are over 22% water.
So you can see what effect that could have on your body if you are dehydrated.
We only need to lose a very small amount of water to start to begin to suffer the effects of dehydration.
Some of the effects of dehydration are …
feeling thirsty and lightheaded
dry mouth
tiredness,
lethargy
having dark coloured, strong-smelling urine
passing urine less often than usual
feeling hungry when we are actually dehydrated
sluggish digestion
feeling ‘foggy headed’
lower back pain
How much water should I drink a day?
Your body needs a steady supply of water throughout the day, but there are many different schools of thought as to how much is needed. If you eat a lot of fresh fruit and vegetables you will take in more water through them – but you have no way of measuring how much.
If you do lots of exercise, you will need more. I feel that a good amount to aim for is between 2 – 2.5 litres a day, unless you are below or above average height and weight.
There are other schools of thoughts that say 1 fluid oz for every pound in weight. So if I was 150 lbs in weight I would drink 150 fluid oz in water – approx four litres.
Here is where you take your own view! Look for the visual clues, such as the colour of your urine and your energy levels and digestion. There is an element of you trusting your body but, if you stick to the 2-2.5 litres, that is a great starting point.
What benefits will I feel from drinking more water?
Greater energy levels
Better focus
Reduced aches and pains
Lighter and brighter skin, clearer and healthier looking
Weight loss
