Water is important to our bodies because we need it so our food
will digest our food ae and nd get rid of waste. Water is needed
for our body for digestive juices such as our urine and bowel.
Water is also the main ingredient in our perspiration which is known
as sweat. Water is also needed for our cells in our body to
work. It delivers important nutrients to all of our cells. Also water
promotes weight loss for those who struggle with obesity. Water can
also make you think you are full longer when you drink the right
amount of water . Water is also important because it regulates your
body temperature. Water also plays a big part in your kidneys, It
helps flush out the waste we have in our bodies. All of the
facts I have stated have been in fact part of nutrition science
because with out water we would not be able to live. Our bodies
naturally can not live with out water. If we did not drink water
after 14 days our bodies will start shutting down one by one and
will cause death. Water one of if not the most important things
on this Earth. Not on me do we need water to keep the world
alive and well to feed all the animals other humans and all the
plant life by keeping them hydrated. Without water we would Paris
away or for this fact never have made it on this planet because
without the plants that feed off water we wouldn't have the ability
to create oxygen and or help the screen carbon dioxide and be
able to take care of ourselves as human because our body is made
of of a good portion of water that's why our bodies can get so
dehydrated so quickly without it and you will feel weak and we
actually can't proceed with life and wind up in the hospital because
of dehydration.Without water we would physically struggle to breathe
and without water a body would not be able to use or run its
metabolism metabolism system to be able to process anyting along
with its ability to create sweat. Without sweat coming from our
bodies and I metabolism not working our body has no ability or
way true process any waste that need to come out of her body.
Water is so important to the body because it regulates body
temperature, moistens tissues in the eyes, nose , and mouth, as well
as protects body organs and tissues. Water also carries nutrients and
oxygen to cells, and helps dissolve minerals and nutrients to make
them accessible to your body. We also need water because it is
essential to keeping your body functioning properly and feeling healthy.
And just about all of your body major systems depend on water
to function and survive. For me i have heard talk about drinking
to much water but never heard of anyone really getting sick behind
it. Therefore, i would like to know the out come of drinking to
much water, over hydration. A few reasons that water is important
for the body are because, water is essential to life and nutritional
health. All organs, tissue, and every cell requires water to function
properly. You can only survive days without water. Water helps flush
out waste. Water also makes up a large percentage of the fat
cells, blood, bones, and body muscles. It keeps the tissue in the
skin, mouth, eyes, and mouth moist. It is important to replenish lost
fluid to avoid dehydration. Dehydration can happen if you are not
having enough water intake. It can cause you to experience vomiting
and diarrhoea. Urine can become more concentrated due to having
less water in your body. Having the proper nutrition and hydration
is good for a person's overall health. Following nutritional guidelines
for adequate vitamin and mineral intakes are critical. Becoming educated
regarding the importance of staying hydrated by nutritional experts and
physicians as well as the need for good nutrition is a good way
for individuals who are unaware. I would like to know, what are
the health risks of being overhydrated? What happens if a pregnant
woman has too much water retention in her body, besides swelling?
Also, can the body hold a lot of water weight?. Reasons water is
so important to the body is because water helps regulate body
temperature. Moistens tissue in the eyes, nose, and mouth. Protects
body organs and tissues. Carries nutrients and oxygen to the cells.
Lubricates the joints. Lessons the burden of kidneys and liver by
flushing out waste products. Helps dissolve minerals and nutrients to
make them accessible to your body. Helps your brain function. The
amount of Nutrition Science I used in my justification on water in
the body is around probably half or a little less. The reason the
body needs water is because every cell, organ and tissue in your
body needs water to work properly. It is also caused to help your
body with keeping the correct temperature while your body uses water
to sweat, breathe and digestion. I personally think when you give
your body water you are giving your body life and able to
rehydrate by drinking fluids and eating foods that contain water. Over
the years I have hated water and when I have became pregnant I
wad always sick and dehydrated to the purpose There was always
an IV drip from keeping me from being unstable so when my
doctor stated i needed to drink 8 glasses of water one once In
the morning, one before every meal and throughout the day and
one before bedtime so your body and organs are supported throughout
the course. One source I would recommend to anyone who do not
like the direct taste of water is the company Cirkul, This company
has multiple flavors that connect to water bottles to give it a great
taste while drinking water I highly recommend this to anyone. Water
is a necessity for our bodies to function. Water helps with digestion,
weight loss, and to keep all of our organs healthy. Water can be
boring, so when I stopped drinking pop, and juice I switched to
using crystal light. Granted it is not as good as drinking regular
water, but it is healthier than drinking pop. When I first started
my weight loss journey I refused to drink water, and I was very
dehydrated to the point I would crave a tall glass of ice water.
I drifted away from crystal light, and now I drink regular water
at much as possible and when I want something with flavor I
drink Gatorade zero or powerade zero. Once I made this part of
my routine I feel much better, and healthier. Another benefit of
drinking water is that it flushes out our kidneys and helps prevent
UTI infections for women. Having the warmer season coming we all
need to stay as hydrated as possible to stay healthy, and feeling
at our best in our families and ourselves. This question is very
funny to me. It is funny because I am not a water drinker. I
know that water is the best thing to drink. I, however, can not
stand water. It has no taste and it is just bland. Water is
important and healthy for the body because for one it is the best
way to stay hydrated. Drinking water is also good for your skin
and for certain organs in your body like your kidneys; if not all
your organs. Drinking water can also help prevent women from getting
a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI). Water helps cleanse your body and
is also recommended to drink if a person is trying to lose weight.
With all the benefits of drinking water that I know of, I just
do not like it. I have tried different brands of water from Dasani,
Aquafina, Propel for the flavor, and Fruit 2-O, which was also for
flavor. Nothing sticks. I am trying to do better with drinking water
because I know I need to. My lower back hurts some times on
my right side and I am afraid that it could be my kidneys. I
have not been to a doctor to verify that, however, my husband
always says it could be because I do not drink enough water. The
only time I have drank water and did not care that it was water
was when I was pregnant. Four times out of my teenage and adult
years I was okay with drinking water. I knew that water was
good for the baby. Every mother in the world is and should do
the right thing for their kids when they are in the womb. My
children love water and I do believe it is because that is all I
had with all of them. I am trying this new water name Hint. I
like the taste of it. I also like that they have it as a sparkling
water too. At the end of the day, I know that I need to
incorporate more water in my diet. I need it to cleanse my body
and also if I plan on losing some weight, water is the number
one recommended thing to drink. The human body is made up of
three- fourths water. Water is needed for the overall breakdown of
food in the body, it also helps with nutrients move throughout the
body along with getting rid of the waste in our bodies . Water
also helps with weight loss, by making the body stay full longer.
Water has several benefits when it comes to the human body. Water
fills the spots in between cells to help form structures like protein.
Ensuring we drink enough water not to become dehydrated, i know
to an extend drinking things with electrolytes in it will prevent
dehydration as well as help the body recover from not drinking
enough liquids or dehydration. I would like to see the facts on
how water enhances the body skin. I have heard several times that
water can take redness away the face and give an overall refreshed
look to the skin. Also wondering how we drink water to lose
weight but then we hold onto so much water ? Never really
understood the saying "water weight". Water is very important to the
body, it regulates body temperature, moistens tissues in the eyes also
nose, and mouth. Water also protects body organs and tissues, carries
nutrients and oxygen to cells. Every day and all day you lose
water through your breath, perspiration, urine, and bowel movements,
which are some reasons drinking water is very important. Water also
delivers important nutrients to all fatigues. all of our cells. Water
helps you feel full longer, without adding any additional calories.
Water also helps lose weight if you are drinking a gallon or half-
gallon of water a day. Drinking plenty of water helps your skin
get clear and have smooth skin. Also drinking water at night is
good but drinking it too late can cause a few problems. For
example, drinking to much water at night causes your sleep cycle
to be off. I personally wake up in the middle of the night and
drink a little water. Water is probably one of the most important
things you can put into your body. I believe your body is made
up of 70 percent of water. Water is vital for a healthy body. it
helps keep your liver and kidney functioning properly. Lack of water
can in turn harm these organs and your body in general. Drinking
plenty of water helps these organ flush out waste that your body
may intake. Water is also good for your skin. You wouldn't think
water would be that important for your skin, but the more water
you drink the better your skin will look. That dewy glow is a
reflection of your water intake. It is also very important to make
sure that if you work in the outdoors and heat that you keep
yourself hydrated. Not doing so can cause heat illness such as heat
stroke and heat exhaustion. A little known fact about water is that
if you drink too much it can cause you to get intoxicated and
can kill you. So I would advise against over doing it. I have
always been told that water was the most important thing you could
put in your body. So, I consumed water daily but never really
understood the importance until I was older. For those of us who
are who have physical demanding jobs or work out vigorously, water
helps regulate your body temperate. During and after physical activity
your body sweats to help cool down. Staying hydrated is important
in this process. Also, your body uses water to move waste from
your body. Lack of proper hydration can cause digestive issues such
as constipation. Urination is another way of releasing waste, which is
filtered through your kidneys. They also need proper hydration for
optimal function. Lastly proper hydration promotes positive brain function
and overall cognitive sharpness.Some questions I do have about water
is the claim of weight loss. It is that we eat less when we
hydrate more, which is the real weight loss “secret”? And how do
we know when we have had too much water? Is there such thing
as water toxicity? Water is important to our body because 60% of
our body is water. Water helps flush out all of the toxins through
our liver and kidneys. Water helps break down the food we consume
which helps us digest our food. Another thing that water helps in
our body is with our muscles and joints, it keeps our muscles
energized and flexible and helps prevent Charlie horses. Water keeps
our joints flexible and helps it easier for us to move. Our bodies
rely on water so much that out of all the essentials our bodies
need to survive dehydration is the first thing that will kill is
besides breathing of course. Water also helps carry oxygen to our
cells in our blood.
Almost every living thing on our planet needs water to survives,
that is why our scientist try to find water on other planets because
with water usually brings life. There are so many reasons I can
name for why water is so important for the human body and also
every living thing on this planet. Water is important to our bodies
because we need it in order to survive. It helps our body flush
out any bacteria we may have in our body. Your kidneys also
need water in order to function properly. You also need water in
order to stay hydrated. It also helps a lot with your digestive
system. A lot of different parts or our body cannot function without
using water to do so. Water is very important for our body. I
guess I puked have. Question about can you drink to much water
and get over hydrated and if you were to get over hydrated what
would happen to you? I try to drink as much water as I can
to make sure I am flushing out my body and getting the right
about of water my body needs to function on a daily basis. Water
is essential to all life forms. Including plants! Over half our body
is composed of water. Water helps our kidneys and liver function
by cleaning up waste. It regulates our body temperature. it carries
nutrients to our cells. Water also dissolves nutrients for our body
to absorb. We can survive without food for about a week, but
without water, we would be gone within three days. If it regulates
our body temperature and cleans our liver and kidneys, then it has
to be essential. It is NEEDED to survive.I was always told to
drink half my body weight in ounces of water. So if I were to
weigh 200 pounds, I would have to drink 100 ounces of water. I
have a Hydrojug that really helps with that. It's half a gallon, but
it is close to the amount of water I need. I like to stay active
so I need water to keep myself from overheating and making sure
I am constantly hydrated. One thing I realized is that our stomachs
can growl when we're only thirsty. I used to eat snacks a lot,
but when I drink the right amount of water, I notice I am not
eating as much snacks. Our bodies know what they need so we
should listen to them. Water is essential to life. Over half of our
body is composed of water. Water plays an important role in our
digestive system. It helps our body flush out waste, which would
be harmful if it didn't get flushed out. Kidneys need adequate water
to work properly. Water also regulates our body temperature. And it
is essential in helping our brain function. Basically, water plays a
role in most of our bodily functions. We can go quite some time
without food but only a few days without water. Most of us are
taught the importance of water at a young age, and for good
reason. We need water to survive!
I guess some questions I have in regards to water would be based
on overhydration. We are pushed to stay hydrated but are rarely
taught about over consumption of water. I would like to see more
research on this topic. I tried to do some research myself but
finding clear answers was difficult. I would like to find out more
about this so that I can be the healthiest version of myself that
I can be. Especially now since I am trying to lose some weight.
I am worried that I may be consuming too much water.
Water is important for our bodies because number one we can't live
without it. Consuming a lot of water has benefits such as flushing
bacteria from our bladder and also helps with digestion. When it
comes to drinking a lot of water I have not always been that
great at making sure I consume a lot of water but I have
definitely gotten better at it. I am not saying I wasn't drinking
water at all but I could have been drinking way more like I am
now. I believe our bodies are made up of 60%-70% of water if
I am not mistaken. Water for me also quenches my thirst more
than soda or juice does. I try to drink at least six bottles of
water a day and I do that by drinking three at work and three
at home. I hear often that we are suppose to drink as much
water as half of our body weight. How exactly does water function
within our bodies? That is a question I would like to get a clear
understanding on. I have some knowledge of it but would like to
learn more. Water is the most important substance on earth. It is
important in the human body to consume enough water in order for
the body to function properly. It keeps the organs hydrated and
keeps everything in your body flowing. The is many different studies
that prove these facts.
I was very interested in the fact that we as people do not look
at water as a living thing. More so as a liquid. There is a
scientist that has done studies on water and the affects that outside
stimulus has on water. He directly affects the water by surrounding
it with words of love and hate. Music that has beautiful melodies
as well has hard rock. He even show the effects of water from
a natural spring. He first influences the water then he freezes it.
When the water is freezing he looks at it under a microscope and
he has found that the water creates beautiful crystals when the
stimulus is positive. Then he observes the same water with the
negative influences and the findings will surprise you. There are no
crystals present. Same as you would find in Tokyo tap water. The
scientist states that if you show your water gratitude and say thank
you, you can change the energy of the water. The documentary is
called "The Secret of Water." I subscribe to Gaia. Its awesome on
all things quantum. If this could be my area of study I would
be lost in my work.
Water has always been a vital to my life, well up until I was
retired from the Army. We were always training, and being in Fort
Benning, Its hot, and humid. We were always told to drink water.
From basic training to unit, it was always, DRINK WATER!!!.
However, I remember when I was training at Fort Benning, and
drinking water as I was instructed by the Cadre. I was sent off
to a position to defend and not let the OP-4 personal threw my
position, I was hot, and sweeting my butt off, so I did what I
was told and drank WATER!! I ended up drinking so much water
that I flushed my system of electrolytes and passed out. When I
woke up I was on my back and an IV had been inserted into
my arm and the Medic told me that I had already consumed 2
bags of fluids. I was dehydrated even though I was drinking water
as instructed. From that point on, I was sure that I had both
water and Gatorade, The water was so that I could replenish my
bodies water level and the Gatorade was so that I replenished my
electrolytes. When I was deployed to Iraq, the mixture was perfict
for what by body needed to funtion and I have never passed out
since. Water is very important to our body. Our body makes about
at least 75% of water so it is important that we replenish what
we lose. We lose water by sweating and by using the restroom.
By not having the right amount of water in your body, it can
have some serious side effects such as dehydration, especially in the
summer time which can lead to heat strokes. It can also have an
affect on certain organs by them not being able to properly flush
out toxins. I know some people who refuse to drink water, and I
would constantly have to let them know how important it is for
your body. I sometimes do a water fast where I would only drink
water for 24 hours and that would help me with not being
constipated, it would also help me with headaches and keeping my
skin hydrated. I actually prefer to drink water over anything else.
Another thing is, with me the more water I drink, the more I
am able to control my appetite. If our body does not have water
it will start to slow down things will start to happen to our
organs. As a person with just one kidney I know that drinking
plenty of water is a must. I know that drinking is a must to
keep my kidney in function. If I don’t drink enough water my
back and side will hurt and then I will start to feel sick and
tired. It will take a few days to get my body back to feeling
the way it should. I know that water also has many other functions
with our body. Water helps our body regulate itself in the way
our bowels move to help us not get constipated. Water also helps
regulate your body temperature by sweating when you are hot to
cool you off. These are a few things that water helps with
your body. Water is important for your body because obviously your
body needs it to survive. If you don’t consume enough water you
will get dehydrated, and this will cause your organs to malfunction
and your body to shut down. After I read this week’s chapters on
water and mineral nutrition, I believe that my beliefs on why we
need water are based on nutrition science. Based on the readings
this week, it says that the body needs fluid balance, which means
that water intake needs to equal water loss. If not enough water
is consumed to replace the amount that is being expended, then
dehydration will occur. When dehydration occurs, the tissues in the
body will dry up and the cells will malfunction. Severe dehydration
can result in a coma and death.
vv vv vv Questions that I have about water in the body would be
are there any other effects, besides the ones listed for overhydration,
that overdrinking water can cause? Most of the time I hear the
more water you drink the better, but science has been wrong before.
Such as 30 years ago, science said eggs were terrible for you,
and caused the body all kinds of negative issues. Now science says
that eggs are an extremely healthy form of protein and should be
eaten every day. Another question would be, if people cannot afford
to purchase bottled water or just choose not to, or drink filtered
water, does drinking excessive amounts of public water versus filtered
water have any different or negative effects? . What is the first
answer that comes to mind when someone asks you "what do
humans need in order to survive?". Many would say it is water.
That is because water is basically what keeps the human body
running properly. Just like oil for cars helps it run better and gas
(being food for humans) is what keeps it running. Water helps in
many different ways for the body, starting with the most simple
fact; it fights dehydration. Water also helps lubricate joints and spinal
cord. If you want them working properly for years to come, making
water a priority for daily intake is a must. When it comes to
excreting waste, water is what helps the body in doing that. Drinking
water is also another way to keep the stool healthy. Without that,
it would be somewhat painful to excrete waste through defecation.
And lastly, water helps the body stay in top performance. The body
and mind would feel drained and out of energy and no one wants
to feel like that. As a truck driver who is always on the road,
I do not like drinking a lot of water because that causes me to
pull over and use the restroom many times. Those little 5 minute
stops add up over time causing you to stay on the road longer.
My question is how is it some people can hold in their urine
longer than others without feeling uncomfortable? My friend also has
the same truck driving route as me and never really stops. I was
always told that water is what keeps us from getting dehydrated.
When we run and play or exercise and we sweat, we need water
to replace the fluids that we have lost. this certainly goes along
with our readings this week. According to Kaczkowski & Odle (2018),
"The body does not store excess water, unlike it does with other
nutrients. With physical exertion, water requirements increase; therefore,
fluid replacement during exercise is critical. The longer the duration
and the more physical exertion athletes put into their exercise, the
more fluid they lose during workouts. To keep the body working
best, it is essential to replenish lost fluid after workouts and to
stay well hydrated during exercise." the question that I would ask
is if water plays a key role in our ability to gain muscle mass.
Since water transports nutrients and oxygen to the cells, I assume
a better question would be how much water helps build muscle
mass. I know that we can't live without water and dehydration can
kill you because that is what my uncle died from. I am not a
fan of drinking plain water at all. For years I did not drink
plain water ever. The only water that I would get came from
juice, coffee or tea unless I was exercising, that would be the
only time I wanted plain water. Now, I drink a lot of water,
but I still don't care for it plain. I love to put lemon in my
water, it gives it that little bit of flavor that I want. I also
like fruit infused water with strawberries and cucumber. I have tried
"Hint" water and I like that as well and it is supposed to be
all natural, no artificial sweeteners in it. My favorite is crystal light,
although I know it has artificial sweeteners in it, I only use half
the recommended amount and again it gives it just enough flavor.
I always try to drink extra plain water when I am having a few
cocktails, it definitely helps with the dry mouth feeling that you
wake up to if you don't have any water.
