I drink several glasses of filtered water every morning when i arrive at
work and my knees aren`t sore anymore and I have no problem with
constipation.
Benefits: Water has one of the most important roles to play in
maintaining a healthy body and some of its benefits include:
* PH Balance: Human body maintains a pH range of 7.35-7.45 for proper
physiological processes. An acidic shift may lead to sickness and
inability of the body to assimilate vitamins and minerals. Thus, it
should be above the value of 7, which is favourable to body's oxygen
uptake, higher energy levels, and better immune response to diseases.
This is attainable by consuming lots of water.
* Body Temperature: Much of the human body is made up of water and
this fluid is responsible for regulation of body temperature. We undergo
perspiration in summers to dissipate the excess heat in order to lower
our temperature. This temperature regulation property has been
attributed to water.
* Metabolism: Water is the carrier of oxygen, nutrients, hormones,
etc. to body parts and provides medium for removal of toxins, dead
cells, waste material, etc. The proteins and enzymes involved in various
fundamental processes also require water for their proper functioning.
* Breathing: Water plays its role in distributing oxygen all over the
human body while collecting the carbon dioxide from all these parts by
dissolving these gases.
* Constipation, Heartburn, Migraine, Gastritis and Ulcers: A number
of disorders are related with water deficiency. Constipation, heartburn,
migraine, gastritis and ulcers can be prevented by taking modest amounts
of water routinely.
* Kidney Stones: As per the International Kidney Stone Institute,
<http://www.iksi.org/index.php> 2 litres or 10 glasses must be consumed
each day to prevent from kidney stones. Water is the best solvent and
this property does not let the salts and minerals to accumulate to form
stone. The salts reaching kidney gets diluted and eliminated in urine.
* Cardiovascular Disease: Water can prevent cardiovascular disorders
to a large extent. It maintains proper viscosity of blood and plasma and
fibrinogen distribution and therefore adequate hydration of vascular
components is advisable.
* Rheumatoid Arthritis: Joints in human body are prone to continuous
friction and weathering. These can be maintained in proper shape by
intake of proper amount of water. Decrease in water consumption may lead
to rheumatoid arthritis.
* Backache: The back portion of our body rests on the spinal cord.
The spinal disc core is made up of large volume of water and dehydration
leads to back pain in such individuals.
* Osteoporosis: According to the research conducted by the Linus
Pauling Institute, <http://lpi.orgonstate.edu/> individuals consuming
adequate amounts of water have reduced risks to osteoporosis and hip
fractures.
* Pregnant Women and Nursing Mother: A pregnant women carries a new
life in her womb that develops from her. The nutrients and other factors
needed for its growth can be carried from mother to the foetus via blood
which in turn needs water. Constipation, bladder infection, and
haemorrhoids are common during pregnancy and these can be avoided by
taking excess of water during this period.
* Kidney Functions: The excretory material in the form of urea is
highly toxic to body tissues and must be diluted before their passage.
This is again done by the `universal solvent' water.
* Skin Tone: According to the University of Minnesota,
<http://www.umn.edu/> skins may get affected by frost bite and
blisters. It has been established that proper water levels in the body
prevents the body from dehydration. This in turn maintains the turgidity
of skin. A number of skin problems can be prevented by taking adequate
amount of
