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.
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.
