Water: an essential resource!

Hi everyone! Today's post will deal with the qualities of water and how important it is to drink it.

It is common knowledge that
Adults should drink at least 1.5 litres of water a day. Dr Wendy Doyle of the British Dietetic Association says this amount is based on sound medical reasoning. Adults lose around 3 litres of fluid a day, she says: 1-1.5 litres as urine, 0.5-1 litres in perspiration, around 400ml in our breath, and about 300ml in our faeces.
 It also goes without saying that this amount should increase in hotter weather, if you exercise a lot and if you do physically demanding work as fluid loss should be restricted. 

If these two arguments are not enough for you, I will list the 10 main positive implication of drinking more water and staying hydrated:

1. Weight loss: water helps regulate the appetite. It promotes a feeling of fullness and helps get rid of the feeling of hunger.
2. Metabolism stimulation: fluids help boost the metabolism and burn calories.
3. Training improvements: water increases muscle power. Therefore, it is recommended to drink
   before beginning any physical activity.
4. Skin improvement: drinking 2 liters of water a day hydrates the body. It helps combat dry skin and eliminate the toxins and bacteria accumulated. Staying hydrated improves skin's appearance and gives the face a more youthful appearance.
5. Headache prevention: not drinking enough water is a common cause of headaches. 
6. Improvement of concentration.
7. Strenghtening of the immune system.
8. Improvement of purification and digestion: water helps our organism eliminate toxins and body waste. This function is combined with regular bowel movements that are critical to proper digestion. Drinking water might help relieve constipation.
9. Increased energy.
10. You will feel better.
