You are drinking water in wrong way

                                        Introduction

Our body weight is approximately 60 percent water. Our body uses water in all its cells, organs, and tissues to help regulate its temperature and maintain other bodily functions. Because Our body loses water through breathing, sweating, and digestion, it's important to re hydrate by drinking fluids and eating foods that contain water. The amount of water you need depends on a variety of factors, including the climate you live in, how physically active you are, and whether you're experiencing an illness or have any other health problems. Water provides us various benefits. It is too much important for our body.





First of all we will discuss about the benefits of water for our body. Some of the benefits of the water are given below :-
 1. It helps create salivaWater is a main component of saliva. Saliva also includes small amounts of electrolytes, mucus, and enzymes. It’s essential for breaking down solid food and keeping your mouth healthy. Our body generally produces enough saliva with regular fluid intake. However, your saliva production may decrease as a result of age or certain medications or therapies.
If your mouth is drier than usual and increasing your water intake isn’t helping, see your doctor.
 2. It regulates your body temperatureStaying hydrated is crucial to maintaining your body temperature. Our body loses water through sweat during physical activity and in hot environment. Our sweat keeps your body cool, but our body temperature will rise if we don’t replenish the water you lose. That’s because our body loses electrolytes and plasma when it’s dehydrated.
If you’re sweating more than usual, make sure you drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration.3. It protects your tissues, spinal cord, and jointsWater consumption helps lubricate and cushion your joints, spinal cord, and tissues. This will help you enjoy physical activity and lessen discomfort caused by conditions like arthritis.
 4. It helps excrete waste through perspiration, urination, and defecationYour body uses water to sweat, urinate, and have bowel movements. Sweat regulates body temperature when you’re exercising or in warm temperatures. You need water to replenish the lost fluid from sweat. You also need enough water in your system to have healthy stool and avoid constipation.  Your kidneys are also important for filtering out waste through urination. Adequate water intake helps your kidneys work more efficiently and helps to prevent kidney stones.
  5. It helps maximize physical performanceDrinking plenty of water during physical activity is essential. Athletes may perspire up to 6 to 10 percent of body weight during physical activity. Hydration also affects your strength, power, and endurance. You may be more susceptible to the effects of dehydration if you’re participating in endurance training or high-intensity sports such as basketball. Negative effects of exercise in the heat without enough water can include serious medical conditions, like decreased blood pressure and hyperthermia. Extreme dehydration can cause seizures and even death.
6. It helps prevent constipationEating fiber isn’t the only way to prevent constipation. It’s also important to maintain your water intake so your bowel movements contain enough water. If you don’t consume enough water, magnesium, and fiber, you may be more likely to experience constipation.
If you’re already constipated, you may find that drinking carbonated water as well as plain water can help ease your symptoms.7. It aids in digestionContrary to what some believe, experts confirm drinking water before, during, and after a meal will help your body break down the food you eat more easily. This will help you digest food more effectively and get the most out of your meals.
Research shows the body adapts to changes in the consistency of food and stomach contents, whether more solid or more liquid. 8. It helps with nutrient absorption. In addition to helping with food breakdown, water also helps dissolve vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients from your food. It then delivers these vitamin components to the rest of your body for use.
  9. It helps you lose weightStudies have linked body fat and weight loss with drinking water in both overweight girls and women. Drinking more water while dieting and exercising may just help you lose extra pounds.

12. It helps improve moodNot getting enough water can also affect your mood. Dehydration may result in fatigue and confusion as well as anxiety.
13. It helps keep skin brightAdequate water intake will help keep your skin hydrated and may promote collagen production. However, water intake alone isn’t enough to reduce the effects of aging. This process is also connected to your genes and overall sun protection.

 NOW we have discussed the benefits of water.Now we will see that what happens when we drink water in the wrong manner.Most of us drink water in wrong ways which may cause severe problems. Instead of getting benefit of this miraculous drink, it harms us. 
















First of all we will see that how we are drinking water in wrong manner and how it can affect us :-
 1 We drink water before and after the meals: - Most of us use to drink water before and after meal, which may harm us. It can be the most dangerous thing which we do to our body. Our body temperature increases when we eat food. So that we may be able to digest food properly. But when we drink water it decreases temperature of our body resulting in Indigestion. One more reason for which we should not drink before and after meal is that water also dilutes the gastric juices which also reduce ability of digesting food. So food doesn’t get digested properly and rots within the system. When food rots, the body fails to absorb the nutrients from it. So we are not able to get proper benefits. The water after the meal act as slow poison.
You can just rinse your mouth after meal but don’t drink water. It will definitely help you.
 2 Gulping down the water Now a days the pace of life has increased we do all of our works in speed. With increasing speed of life we usually gulp down the water directly and as water goes in body with speed so body does not accept the water and shunts it off in the form of urine. Moreover we have alkaline in our mouth and when we drink water slowly sip by sip it mixes with base and help to neutralize the acid present in stomach. But when we drink water fast   the base present in our mouth mix with water and help to neutralize stomach. We get no benefit of gulping the water. So it is suggested to drink water slowly sip by sip. Gulping of water may also lead to gain in weight. Because when we gulp water body is unable to remove waste.
 3 Drinking chilled water When we drink chilled water it:-

• Solidifies the fat in food

• Decreases the heart rate

• Shrinks the blood vessel

• Aggravates joint pain

So you should drink water which is at room temperature or you can use earthen pot to store the water and to get more benefits. 4 Drinking too much water Most of us drink water forcefully even when we are not thirsty. Because we have listened that much water means much benefits which is wrong. As it is a saying that excess of everything is bad. If we drink more water it dilutes sodium levels which are harmful for us. If we drink too much of water it may also result in body Intoxication.
 5) Drinking water while standing Most of drink water while standing. But when we drink water while standing our kidneys do not work properly which results in various problems such as Joint pain, Arthritis etc. So never drink water while standing.
 THESE WERE FIVE COMMON MISTAKES WHICH MOST OF US MAKE DAILY AND WE SHOULD AVOID THEM. ONE MORE TIP FOR YOU IS THAT STORE WATER IN COPPER VESSEL IN NIGHT AND THEN DRINK IT NEXT MORNING. IT WILL BE BENEFICIAL FOR YOU. AS COPPER DOUBLES THE BENEFITS OF WATER.
