Here is Why You Should Drink More Water (Infographic)

April 26, 2017 by Melissa Bell Leave a Comment

Did you know that you could live without eating food for about a month but only last 3-7 days without water? Your body can only survive a few days without hydration. This perfectly illustrates how important water is to your existence. In fact, the only natural resource more important than water is the air we breathe.

Not drinking any water would eventually kill you in a matter of days but drinking too little also has serious downsides. This is because your body needs a good amount of hydration to properly function.

The truly shocking fact is that around 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated according to doctors. This can lead to poor long-term health outcomes. For instance, studies show that persistent dehydration leads to everything from intense migraines to heart issues.

Why are most people chronically dehydrated? Well, the first issue is that the majority of people don’t know the right amount of water they should drink each day. It stands to reason that if you can’t correctly calculate your daily water intake then you probably won’t get the right amount of hydration each day.

The second major issue is the failure to drink more water when the situation calls for it. I’m sure you already know that you should consume more water when you’re taking part in a physically demanding activity like exercise or to drink extra water when you’re in hot weather. But did you know you should drink more water when you are sick? Water helps your body flush out toxins and this is why doctors often tell you to “get plenty of rest and drink lots of fluids” when you’re ill. Getting extra water in your body helps to speed up the recovery process.

There is a lot of information to take in which can be a little overwhelming. But don’t worry; we’ve got your back! This article also presents you with a detailed infographic that shows you the complete A-Z hydration and health. It makes everything so simple that a child could understand it.

If you would like a complete breakdown and analysis of the infographic, visit the original water infographic article on MrWaterGeek.com. This also includes a full citation of academic and scientific references.
