Whereas 75% of muscles is water, the consumption of the vital liquid becomes essential. Experts advise that daily consumption of water should be 2 liters, starting with two glasses when you first wake up, and then gradually throughout the day.
It is essential because drinking water causes an increased urine output, which helps to eliminate toxins that prevent diseases.
In addition, this vital liquid is fundamental for many chemical processes that occur in our body, maintaining and maintaining our bodily functions in order.
According to the European Institute of Hydration, drinking water on an empty stomach is very important. There are five key benefits:
- The brain requires proper hydration. When we are properly hydrated, the brain cells receive oxygenated blood, which makes us alert.
- Urine makes us eliminate residues and unnecessary nutrients, and this is why water consumption allows for a correct functioning of our kidneys.
- Water is essential for our skin. It benefits its elasticity and tone.
- It helps protect the muscles and joints.
- It favors the absorption of nutrients through the blood, by transferring them through the cells, which improves digestion.
When you feel thirsty, it is because your body is dehydrated, and that is why you should avoid getting to this point. Drink water daily and along the day, and make this a habit.
However, you should also consider that excessive consumption of the vital fluid is bad. Carmen Garcia Torrent, nutritionist with a degree in Science and Food Technology states that “drinking more than three liters of water a day can cause negative health effects.” This is because in urination, not only water is removed, but mineral salts are lost. Besides, excessive consumption of water causes the kidney to work excessively.
So those who live in very hot places or who are constantly exercising, should not abuse of water consumption. Although it is unlikely to drink three liters a day, it is ideal to keep it at two liters a day.
