We’ve probably been told one too many times to drink more water and hydrate ourselves, but why do we have to do so? What does drinking more water have to do with our health, and how does it work? In today’s blogpost, we’ll be discussing about the importance of water and why you should drink up more!
Maximises Physical Performance
During physical activities, it’s normal for people to perspire and sweat along the way, depending on the intensity of the sport. It has also been scientifically proven that hydration boosts strength, power and endurance, especially when it comes to high intensity exercises. When one exercises in the heat without proper and adequate hydration, they may suffer from serious medical conditions like heat stroke and a lowered blood pressure. Drinking water also elevates metabolic rates in an individual, allowing their overall energy levels to increase.
Aids In Digestion
Did you know that drinking more water can aid in nutrient absorption, digestion and helps to prevent constipation as well? Drinking water before and after meals can help the body break down food more easily, which promotes digestion. In addition to helping with the process of food breakdown in the system, water also helps to dissolve vitamins, minerals and other nutrients from food, which are them delivered to various parts of the body to be used.
Cognitive Benefits
Proper hydration can help to boost focus, alertness and short term memory while simultaneously uplifting one’s mood by improving clarity and concentration. Drinking sufficient water allows our brain cells to function properly and lowers neuronal activation, which means that our brains do not have to work harder than usual to complete simple tasks. Furthermore, water supplementation also leads to better mental clarity as well as improved quality of sleep.
