hello loves. how are you? here is a reminder to go get a glass of water. here's why:
- it cushions the brain, spinal cord, and other sensitive tissues. dehydration can affect brain structure and function. it is eeps the mouth, nose, and eyes moist. this prevents friction and damage. drinking water also keeps the mouth clean (so when you kiss your future or present soulmate, they'll love your kisses).
- it delivers oxygen throughout the body. blood is more than 90% water, and blood carries oxygen to different parts of the body.
- it boosts skin health and also involved in the production of hormones and neurotransmitters. prolonged dehydration can lead to problems with thinking and reasoning. so before you have another mental/emotional breakdown or existential crisis, get a nice glass of water.
- it regulates body temperature. water that is stored in the middle layers of the skin comes to the skin’s surface as sweat when the body heats up. as it evaporates, it cools the body. in sport. some scientists have suggested that when there is too little water in the body, heat storage increases and the individual is less able to tolerate heat strain. having a lot of water in the body may reduce physical strain if heat stress occurs during exercise. however, more research is needed into these effects. basically, you gotta sweat sometimes, and water helps you do that.
-the digestive system depends on it. the bowel needs water to work properly. dehydration can lead to digestive problems, constipation, and an overly acidic stomach. this increases the risk of heartburn and stomach ulcers.
- it flushes body waste. water is needed in the processes of sweating and removal of urine and feces. you gotta pee sometimes.
- it helps maintain blood pressure. a lack of water can cause blood to become thicker, increasing blood pressure.
i love you all so much and want you to feel healthy and happy! get some water and drink it for me <3
