Default Important reasons for drinking enough water

Drinking water is one of the simplest things you can do to improve your health, water makes up 60 percent of our bodies. It breaks down vitamins, glucose and other nutrients, while transporting them and helping our body absorb them.
Water is our most essential nutrient,.people can survive days, weeks or months without food, but only about four days without water, the body uses water for digestion, absorption, circulation, transporting nutrients, building tissues, carrying away waste and maintaining body temperature,.our bodies make water as a by-product in the breakdown of fats, sugars and proteins to energy, also water flushes toxins out of our vital organs.

People should be carefull with caffeinated drinks, for every cup of caffeine, you should add a glass of water to counteract caffeine 's dehydrating effect.
Dehydration can have serious, long-term effects., like blood pressure, circulation and kidney functions can all be badly affected by not drinking enough water.

Drinking water is also important for loosing weight, i have read that water will increase your metabilism by about 3 percent, i know its not much, but every little bit counts.
