THE BENEFITS DO NOT END WITH COUNTING
70 Percent of our body is water. Water delivers oxygen and nutrients to every cell in the body, increases blood volume, ensures the healthy functioning of the heart and cleanses the body of toxins. It prevents kidney diseases, constipation and muscle cramps. It protects against infections, provides weight control and moisturizes the skin. A large part of people do not drink enough water. For this reason, they continue to live in a chronically dehydrated, that is, dehydrated state, endangering their health.

IT IS THE INSURANCE OF OUR HEALTH
Even a small amount of water loss disrupts the body’s balance, causes fatigue, decreased concentration, and pain. Human health is endangered if adequate and correct water is not drunk. In order to live healthy and not gain weight, it is essential to consume water regularly. Water accelerates the basal metabolism. This means consuming more energy at rest and while sleeping, and therefore not gaining weight. Insufficient water, on the other hand, makes a person tired, fat and sick. The risk of death from a heart attack was found to be much less in those who drank 6 or more glasses of water a day than in those who drank 2 cups and less a day.

PAY ATTENTION IF YOU USUALLY CONSUME TEA, COFFEE AND ACIDIC DRINKS
Water from tea, coffee and acidic drinks will never replace real water. Such drinks, with their diuretic effect, cause the body to become even more dehydrated. If not enough water is drunk, toxins accumulate in the body, metabolism slows down, chronic diseases, complaints such as pain and weight gain occur.

HOW MUCH SHOULD I DRINK?
An adult person loses an average of 2-2.5 liters of water per day through the lungs, skin, bowel movements and urine. This lost water must necessarily be replaced. If you don’t like drinking water, you can add cucumber, cinnamon, mint leaves, ginger or apple slices to the water to improve its taste.

RESOURCES ARE BECOMING INCREASINGLY POLLUTED
Unfortunately, access to clean water sources is very difficult in the world now. Industrial chemicals, chemical fertilizers, pesticides, petrochemicals, domestic and industrial wastes pollute water resources. Unfortunately, sufficient technological possibilities for the purification of water resources from these chemicals are limited.

DO NOT CONFUSE HUNGER AND THIRST
People tend to confuse feelings of hunger and thirst in general. When the body is dehydrated, this feeling is perceived as hunger in a significant part of people and the need to eat arises, so that excess calories are taken. Therefore, when you feel a feeling of hunger, drink water first.
