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. yy 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.
yy 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.
