Did you all know this about water and our body?
- That the total amount of water in the body of an
average adult is 37 liters (roughly 72 %!!).
- That our thinking machine, aka the brains are made
out of 95% water!!
- Our bones have 25% water in them.
- Our blood contains 82% water.
- Our muscles are 75% water.
- And our lungs consist of 90% water.
Looking at this, you do not have to be a genius to see
that water is very important for our body. We can survive weeks without food,
but die within a couple of days without water.
If the water supply of our body drops with just 2%, we
will notice some dehydration signs like having trouble with simple math
solutions or a fuzzy short term memory as well as concentrating on small
surfaces.
Besides preventing our body from collapsing, water has
more useful functions as well.
Even for all you health freaks out there who
wants to keep or get in shape!
For example water acts as lubricant to keep our joints
flexible in order to keep doing your important exercises. Furthermore, water acts as a detox
as well as cleansing the fat out of our body..and who does not want a nice body
with as less fat as possible??
Another important aspect, for those who wants to gain
muscle, is that protein synthesis is increased when the muscles are fully hydrated. In other words, you gain muscle faster if your body is fully hydrated!!
As you all can see, water is important for those who
want to lose body fat or/and gain mucle.
So what I would like to say to you is, go fill your body with
some fresh H2O (water)!!
