50 to 60 percent of our body is made of water. water allows kind
of communication between different parts of our body,
communication of nutrition's , blood, intestine fluid etc. It
helps to keep the body temperature in balance, lubricates
and dilutes harmful acids.
These days more and more people are getting dehydrated, because we either ignore or forget drinking water due to our fast lifestyle, which lead to deceases like diabetes, cancer, jaundice, ulcer and many more. And the main reason of these are less water consumption, which stops harmful chemicals to flow out of our body. Less water consumption also result in overheating of body.
Everybody at an average should drink 10 to 14 glasses of water each day. its good to not have water during and just after food as it slows down digestion because it dilutes digestive enzymes.
Remember : YOU CAN'T REPLACE WATER WITH CARBONATED DRINKS OR SODA OR COLD DRINKS because being more sugar concentrated they pull out water from cells and you start feeling more thirsty.
