Importance Of Water

    wait little kitty don't jump in it Oh

little kitty that was just a mirage

there is no water I understand a

fter all

we were evolved that way all living

things need water hey wait a minute

that's an interesting question hello

friends I'm sure just like little kitty

even you must have felt cranky when you

are super duper thirsty but have you

ever wondered why do we feel thirsty or

what causes this feeling of thirst eNOS

in the first place so in today's episode

let's dive into the reason behind this

process and answer the exciting question

why do we feel thirsty zoom in we living

beings are very blessed as our Mother

Earth has gifted us with a variety of

natural means that help us to survive

but amongst all of them the most

essential element that contributes to

our existence is water yes my friends we

are all aware of the fact that a human

body is made up of fifty to seventy-five

percent of water that has many benefits

such as it provides strength and

nourishment to vital body organs it

enables the smooth functioning of the

bones it helps to digest our food and

keeps the mouth nose and eyes moist

regulates body temperature

and it is also present in lymph a fluid

that is a part of your immune system

which help you fight off illness but the

most important question is if the water

is already present inside our body and

that you enlarge volume then why do we

feel thirsty well it is because the

amount of water present in these organs

keeps on fluctuating as we lose it while

performing actions such as running

cycling pooping etc in the form of sweat

and excreta not only that but you also

lose water through evaporation when you

inhale and exhale the air throughout the

day as the inner layer of your lungs is

covered with moisture so when we keep

losing the inner water it eventually

leads to dehydration and we start to

notice initial signs such as the dry

mouth and your urine becomes darker as

your body tries to retain more water

then it slowly starts to severely affect

your health and can have an impact on

your mood level of energy not pressure

and can also lead to cognitive

impairment that affects your brains

function

not only that when you are dehydrated

your brain tissues can literally shrink

in size because of lack of water but

fortunately as soon as your body detects

the low level of water the thirst center

of the brain is located in the

hypothalamus that regulates the

concentration of sodium in your body

with the help of blood vessels detects

this change and urges you to drink water

ASAP and that's the reason we quench our

thirst but remember my friends just like

dehydration over hydration or

hyponatremia caused due to the

overconsumption of water in a shorter

amount of time can be an issue as well

and can lead to water intoxication

during hyponatremia a person may suffer

from headaches vomiting seizures and in

rare cases can be fatal as well so my

dear friends it is very vital to drink

the right amount of water at the right

time trivia time did you know drinking

water can help you lose weight by

increasing your metabolis

m which helps

burn calories faster also it is

estimated that the average amount of

water you need per day is about three

liters which count up to 13 cups for men

and 2.2 liters which is approximately

nine cups for women but it varies from

person to person the environment they

are in and the activities they undertake

hope you enjoyed today's episode until

next time
