Water has benefits beyond slake your thirst. It's necessary to maintain both your physical and emotional well-being.

Water is essential to almost every major bodily system's survival and functionality. It should come as no surprise that being hydrated has health benefits, as water comprises around 60% of your body weight.

A few instances of how water functions in your body are as follows:

→ controls body temperature and moisturizes the mouth, nose, and eye tissues.
→ shields bodily structures and organs
→ Transports oxygen and nutrients to cells
→ lubricates the joints.
→ reduces the load on the liver and kidneys by eliminating waste
→ dissolves nutrients and minerals so that your body can access them.

How much water do you need?

You lose eight to twelve cups of water a day from breathing, sweating, urinating, and defecating. Generally speaking, women need nine cups of liquid each day, while men need at least twelve. Exercise, hot weather, high altitude, a high-fiber diet, and higher losses from coffee and alcohol consumption are some of the factors that raise your fluid needs.

Each person has a different threshold for proper hydration. Seeing the color of your pee immediately after you get up in the morning is a useful method of keeping an eye on your level of hydration. Urine with a straw or lemonade hue indicates that you are properly hydrated. Urine that is dark in hue, similar to apple juice, is a sign of dehydration.

For this reason, it's critical to replace your body's water reserves with hydration-rich foods and beverages. 
Although water should be your primary source of fluids, you can also choose to drink soups, milk, 100% fruit juice, and decaffeinated teas. Vegetables and fruits also include a good deal of water. It's advisable to aim for at least eight cups of fluid each day because it might be difficult to monitor how much water you get from eating.

Not fond of simple water? Try sparkling water with a dash of fruit juice, club soda, or seltzer if you enjoy the tingling of carbonated soda. Try infusing your water with fruit or adding a slice of lemon or lime if you want a hint of flavor.
