6 Ways Water Benefits Your Body That You Never Even Thought Of

Cailyn Cox

We all know the importance of drinking water, and quite simply put, if you don't drink enough fluids, you will die. But do you know the exact reasons you should be drinking water, other than the age old saying that "it's good for you?"

Well, there's a lot of reasons why it's good for you, from improved brain health, to helping dissolve fats and soluble fibers, and below are six ways in which water benefits your body (that you may not have thought of before).

It helps maintain your body fluids: The body is made up of around 60 percent of water, which is used to conduct a number of different things. According to WebMD, these include regulating body temperature, the creation of saliva, digestion of food, and the absorption and transportation of nutrients across the body.

It can keep you full: Now we're not suggesting you live off water, but water, when combined with food has the ability to make you fuller, quicker. Which can result in you eating less, and therefore losing weight.

Helps your skin look radiant: Your skin helps prevent the loss of water, but when you are dehydrated your skin can appear wrinkly and dry — having enough water will, therefore, keep you looking radiant.

Promotes brain function: Your brain is made up of mostly water, so when you drink a lot of water your brain can function to its full potential, helping you to focus better and improving your concentration levels. Lack of water results in several issues, including struggles to focus, memory loss, and problems with your sleep.

Eliminates dehydration related illnesses: Headaches, joint pain, and cramps are often caused by dehydration, so drinking water will help to alleviate these symptoms. Dehydration can also cause fatigue and weakness.

Flush out waste: The digestive system needs water in order to function.

A 9/11 Experience: My Connection to Flight 93

A 9/11 Experience: My Connection to Flight 93 by D.O.C. I have a personal connection to the September 11th attacks in 2001, particularly Flight 93 . I am one of the few Americans to encounter the terrorists, then participate in the conflict they started. I did not understand that until years later. It began August 2000.  I had just graduated high school and was working a job at Publix Supermarket in Miramar. Towards the end of the year, I had left that job in search of a fitness job, which was my new passion. I applied to many local gyms including Club Fit (defunct) and L.A. Fitness in Pembroke Pines. I finally settled on a gym called US1 Fitness, which at the time was located in Dania Beach. Ziad Jarrah The terrorist I encountered as a teenager fresh out of high school was Ziad Jarrah , the lead hijacker who took the wheel of Flight 93 that crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania on 9/11/01. Very polite person. I remember him asking me two questions. The first, how to use a particular m

10 Things That Happen to Your Body When You Lose Sleep

10 Things That Happen to Your Body When You Lose Sleep by D.O.C., OTD/C Sleep is an occupation. In occupational therapy,  sleep is conceptualized as  a restorative occupation with the goal of rest and recuperation , and good sleep and rest could support the formation of the occupation mix of self-care, work, and leisure during the day. But what happens when you don't sleep? 1. You get sick Losing sleep can impair your body’s ability to fight off illness. This makes it easier to get sick.
