Why you need water

Why You Need Water.

           I am writing this blog post to explain to you why you need water. Water is one of the things that will keep you alive.

            Your body needs good water since your body is around 60-70% water. Your blood is mostly water as well as your brain, muscles and lungs.

            But how much water should you drink on the average day? The answer is about 13 cups of water and other fluids in a day. If you don’t get a good amount of water then your immune system goes down and you can get sick easier.

            If you don’t drink enough water in a day then you can get dehydrated. When you’re dehydrated you will get headaches as well and muscle pain and joint pain. If dehydration gets really bad you can throw up as well as have blurred vision, muscle cramps and you can also have hypotension. Hypotension is when your blood pressure falls dramatically. Dehydration can become really serious. If not treated you can get delirium, unconsciousness and even possibly death.

Here are 5 reasons your body needs water:

1. Your body needs water to make new cells, like bones, skin, blood, etc.

2. When you’re hydrated your lymphatic system works really well and removes waste and toxins faster.

3. Water brings nutrients and vitamins to your body as well as lubricates the joints and helps keep your vision strong and your teeth strong.

4. Water helps you aids digestion and temperature control.

5. Everything in your body needs water to function.

But not all countries have good water. Many poor countries like Sudan, Pakistan, etc. don't have access to clean water for many reasons. The people who drink the bad water can get bad water diseases or even parasites can be in the bad water.

How can you help people with getting bad water in the other countries? You can donate money to poor countries so they can build wells. Here is a video about why water is important.
