Guzzle lots of water for healthy life !!

Drinking water is so important for good health. Your body is estimated to be about 60 to 70 percent water. Blood is mostly water, and your muscles, lungs, and brain all contain a lot of water. Your body needs water to regulate body temperature and to provide the means for nutrients to travel to all your organs. Water also transports oxygen to your cells, removes waste, and protects your joints and organs.

Reasons why you should include water drinking in your daily rituals and the benefits it can offer to your organism.

1. Purifies and makes your skin beautiful : Drinking water is essential for hydrating your skin as well, not only your organism. While cosmetic products offer an outer hydrating effect for your skin, you could change them with a bog bottle of fresh water that would have the same effect, only from inside.
2. Toxins : Water purifies our blood that is taken to all of our organs. This way we can purify the whole organism.
3. Helps preventing heart attacks : Researches were made that proved that those who drink at least two liters of water are less probable to be affected by heart problems than those who do not drink even one liter per day.
4. Hydrate the muscles : If you regularly do some physical exercises and tend to omit drinking an adequate amount of water you may experience cramps and other pains.
5. Helps concentration : The loss of liquids from our body may result in different unpleasant symptoms such as headaches, incapability of concentrating, irritability. The brain also needs water in order to be able to function properly. The more oxygen reaches our brain the more vivid it will become.
6. Digestions : It is vital for a proper digestion and it also helps preventing constipation. Water also helps nutrient absorption and it transports the waste material from our cells.
7. Fights infections : The reduced amount of water in our organism can lead to a disease called Chronic Cellular Dehydration. This state of the body simply means that the organism is not hydrated enough to be able to fight different infections or diseases.
8. Cools your body : Water helps you to maintain a regular temperature of your body.
9. Hunger or thirst : With all you eat you introduce calories in your organism, calories that can become fat or muscle. f you help your organism with enough water the introduced calories will become muscles through protein synthesis.
10. In case of illnesses : A sick person who has temperature should drink liquids is that he loses lots of liquids through sweating, but also because this way the temperature can be repressed.
11. Lose Weight : Researches prove that drinking water and weight loss are directly related. Drinking 2-3 cups of water 20-30 minutes before meals suppresses appetite to some extent and helps to control food intake. Drinking water accelerates metabolic rate as water works as a fuel for metabolism.
12. Drinking more water helps us to lose excess water weight.

TYPES OF VITAMINS -

Vitamins fall into two categories :-

1. fat soluble
   
2. water soluble

The fat soluble vitamins — A, D, E, and K — dissolve in fat and can be stored in your body.

The water soluble vitamins — C and the B-complex vitamins (such as vitamins B6, B12, niacin, riboflavin, and folate) need to dissolve in water before your body can absorb them.

Because of this, your body can’t store these vitamins. Any vitamin C or B that your body doesn’t use as it passes through your system is lost (mostly when you pee). So you need a fresh supply of these vitamins every day.

WHAT ARE VITAMINS AND MINERALS ?

WHAT ARE VITAMINS AND MINERALS –

Vitamins are organic substances (made by plants or animals), minerals are inorganic elements that come from the soil and water and are absorbed by plants or eaten by animals.

A vitamin is a small molecule that your body needs to carry out a certain reaction. Your body has no way to create vitamin molecules itself, so the vitamin molecules must come in through food that you eat. The human body is known to need at least 13 different vitamins:

• Vitamin A (fat soluble) – Retinol; comes from beta-carotene in plants (When you eat beta-carotene, an enzyme in the stomach turns it into Vitamin A.)

• Vitamin B (water soluble)
  B1-Thiamine; B2- Riboflavin; B3- Niacin; B6- Pyridoxine; B12- Cyanocobalamin;

• Folic acid

• Vitamin C (water soluble) – Ascorbic acid

• Vitamin D (fat soluble) – Calciferol

• Vitamin E (fat soluble) – Tocopherol

• Vitamin K (fat soluble) – Menaquinone

• Pantothenic acid (water soluble)

• Biotin (water soluble)
