Why drinking water is so important

One thing is certain: water is indispensable for the human body.
Not only on World Water Day!
A full 60% of our body is made up of water and numerous bodily functions depend on an adequate supply of water.

Here are 12 reasons why drinking water is important:

1. Regulating body temperature
   When we sweat, we lose water and salts, which can throw our bodies out of balance. Water helps cool down the body and regulate body temperature during exercise.
   
   
2. Reducing the risk of muscle cramps
   Muscle cramps are unpleasant. Reasons may include dehydration or electrolyte imbalances. Sufficient fluid intake can reduce the risk of muscle cramps.
   
   
3. Support Digestion & Nutrient Absorption
   Water helps digest food and absorb nutrients by lubricating the digestive tract and moving food through the body.
   
   
4. Lubricating the joints
   Without adequate hydration, joints can become dry and cause pain.
   
   
5. Prevents dehydration and fatigue
   If we do not drink enough water, it happens that we feel tired faster. As a result, our physical performance is affected. Drinking water can help reduce fatigue and improve our physical performance and endurance.
   
   
6. Improved mental performance
   Our control center, our brain, also needs fluid to work effectively. When we are dehydrated, we can have difficulty concentrating and our memory can be impaired. Hydration can help maintain mental clarity and focus by providing the brain with adequate oxygen and nutrients.
   
   
7. Elimination of toxins
   Water plays a crucial role in the elimination of toxins from the body by supporting the kidneys and urinary tract. The toxins filtered out by the body are thus transported out of the body and cannot cause any harm.
   
   
8. Immune System Support
   The immune system needs water to produce and transport antibodies and other immune cells to fight pathogens. If the body does not get enough water, these immune cells cannot move and work effectively, which can lead to a weakened immune system. In addition, dehydration can lead to inflammation, which can further weaken the immune system.
   
   
9. Protection of the organs

   Water helps protect organs by acting as a shock absorber and lubricant. Therefore, drinking enough water can help prevent organ damage.

    

10. Reduction of wrinkles
    If we don't drink enough water, it can lead to dry skin that is prone to damage and wrinkling.

     

11. Weight Control
    Drinking enough water helps reduce our appetite and keeps us fuller longer. . Studies have shown that people who drink a glass of water before a meal consume fewer calories than people who do not drink water.
    
    
12. Better sleep
    When we are dehydrated, it can affect our sleep. Sufficient water in the system helps our body to relax and rest.

You see, there are many reasons why drinking water is important.

But how much water is enough water?
The general recommendation is to drink at least 2 liters of water daily. This can vary depending on individual factors such as body size, weight, activity level and ambient temperature. A simple trick is to carry a water bottle with you and drink it empty several times a day.

Especially when choosing the right water bottle, it is important to inform yourself sufficiently and make a conscious decision. A high-quality drinking bottle like the KEEGO has several advantages. In addition to the pure plastic-free taste and easy cleaning, the KEEGO impresses above all with its durability.

According to a recent survey, most KEEGO customers use their bottles for several years, unlike conventional plastic sports bottles, which are often replaced after only six months or a year. KEEGO bottles are durable, odorless and tasteless, which means that users do not have to replace their bottles because of unpleasant odors or tastes. This means that buying a KEEGO bottle can even save money.
