Why drinking water is so important

One thing is certain: water is essential for the human body.
Not just 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.

Below you will find 12 reasons why drinking water is important:

1.  Regulating body temperature
   When we sweat, we lose water and salts, which can throw our body off balance. Water helps to cool the body and regulate body temperature during exercise.
   
   
2. Reduction of the risk of muscle cramps
   Muscle cramps are unpleasant. Reasons for this can be dehydration or electrolyte imbalances. Adequate hydration can reduce the risk of muscle cramps.
   
   
3. Support for digestion & nutrient absorption
   Water aids in the digestion of food and the absorption of nutrients by lubricating the digestive tract and transporting food through the body.
   
   
4. Joint lubrication
   Without sufficient hydration, the joints can become dry and cause pain.
   
   
5. Prevents Dehydration and Fatigue
   If we don't drink enough water, we tend to feel tired more quickly, which impairs our physical performance. Drinking water can help reduce fatigue and improve our physical performance and endurance.
   
   
6. Improved mental performance
   Our control center, our brain, also needs fluids to work effectively. When we are dehydrated, we can find it difficult to concentrate and our memory can be impaired. Hydration can help maintain mental clarity and concentration by providing the brain with sufficient oxygen and nutrients.
   
   
7. Elimination of toxins
   Water plays a crucial role in eliminating toxins from the body by supporting the kidneys and urinary tract. The toxins filtered out by the body are transported out of the body and cannot cause any damage.
   
   
8. Support of the immune system
   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 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 wrinkle formation
    If we don't drink enough water, it can lead to dry skin that is prone to damage and wrinkles.

     

11. Weight control
    When we drink enough water, it helps to reduce our appetite and keep us feeling full for 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 calm down.

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

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

When choosing the right water bottle, it is important to be sufficiently informed and make a conscious decision. A high-quality water bottle like the KEEGO has several advantages. In addition to the pure plastic-free taste and easy cleaning, the KEEGO is particularly impressive due to 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 half a year or a year. KEEGO bottles are durable, odorless and tasteless, which means that users do not have to replace their bottles due to unpleasant odors or tastes. This means that you can even save money by buying a KEEGO bottle.
