Sabrina Chan Scott Paul Tuggle Speech 1A March 31, 2020 The importance of drinking water 1. 80% of human diseases are related to water. Drinking high quality drinking water is good for health and longevity. 2. Improve attention, it can help the brain maintain vitality and keep new information firmly in memory.

3. Improve immunity, it can improve the vitality of the immune system and fight against bacterial invasion. 4. Antidepressant, substance that stimulates neurogenesis to fight depression. 5.

Anti insomnia, water is essential for making natural sleep regulators. 6. Anticancer, make hematopoiesis system work normally, help prevent many kinds of cancer. 7. Prevention of disease, it can prevent the blockage of blood vessels in the heart and brain.

8. Supplement the necessary water of human body, which is conducive to blood dilution, metabolism, moisturizing and beautifying the skin. It can defecate, digest food easily, and won't get all kinds of stones. Water is the scavenger who extends into the body, which can prevent dry eyes and avoid rapid decline of vision. There are many benefits of drinking more water, especially getting up in the morning and drinking a glass of water half an hour before going to bed.

It benefits a lot every day throughout the year. 9. We all know that drinking water is good for your health, but it's worth noting how much you should drink. Especially for people with kidney problems or poor metabolism (such as those who are prone to edema), the intake of water should be more cautious. In the past, there have been reports of drinking water and water poisoning, because you don't know the problem caused by taking a lot of water at a time.

Water intake varies according to each person's condition. 10. Water (H2O) is an inorganic substance composed of hydrogen and oxygen. It is a colorless and tasteless transparent liquid under normal temperature and pressure. Water is one of the most common substances, an important resource for the survival of all life, including human beings, and also the most important component of organisms.

11. The minerals and microelements we need are mainly from food, and the absence of minerals in water will not affect the overall situation. As the necessary and beneficial microelements for human body, although they mainly come from food, the microelements in water mostly exist in the form of ions, which are easier to penetrate into cells and be absorbed by human body. 12. The importance of water to the human body, the approximate composition of the human body, protein, 17%, fat, 14%, carbohydrate, 1.5%, calcium and other minerals, 6%, and the rest 70% are water, that is to say, 2 / 3 of the human body is water.

13. Many people like to drink a glass of water before going to bed. Some people say that drinking water before going to bed will increase the burden on kidneys and increase the number of nights; but not drinking water before going to bed will increase blood viscosity and easily induce cardiovascular events. It's about the right amount or an hour ahead. Please see activity attached.

Paper For Above instruction

Addressing the significance of water consumption extends beyond basic hydration to encompass various health benefits that influence overall well-being. This paper explores the multifaceted role of water in human health, emphasizing its critical importance, physiological functions, and recommendations for adequate intake, as well as discussing the implications for different populations with specific health conditions.

Water constitutes approximately 70% of the human body, underscoring its foundational role in maintaining physiological functions crucial for survival. It functions as a solvent, transporter, coolant, and lubricant, facilitating numerous biological processes such as digestion, circulation, and temperature regulation (Popkin, D’Anci, & Rosenberg, 2010). Adequate hydration is essential for sustaining vital functions, preventing dehydration, and supporting metabolic processes. Hydration levels influence cognitive functioning, attention, and memory, highlighting the importance of consistent water intake for cognitive health (Kavouras, 2018).

Increased water consumption offers several health advantages. Proper hydration can improve immune function by promoting the efficient operation of immune cells and facilitating the removal of toxins from the body (Manz & Wentz, 2008). Drinking water has also been linked to the reduction of certain diseases, such as kidney stones, gastrointestinal discomfort, and some cancers, due to its role in flushing out waste products and maintaining normal organ function (Shirreffs, 2010). Moreover, water intake influences cardiovascular health by preventing blood viscosity increases that might predispose individuals to heart disease and stroke (Mellander et al., 2019). These benefits highlight water’s protective role against chronic diseases and its contribution to longevity.

Hydration is particularly vital for vulnerable populations, including older adults, individuals with chronic illnesses, and those with compromised metabolic functions. For instance, older adults often experience a decline in thirst sensation, which can lead to dehydration, exacerbating conditions such as urinary tract infections, confusion, and falls (Fitzgerald et al., 2012). Special caution is warranted for individuals with kidney problems or edema, as excessive water intake might aggravate their condition, emphasizing the need for personalized hydration recommendations (Casa et al., 2010). Such individual considerations are essential because overhydration, or water intoxication, can cause hyponatremia, leading to severe neurological disturbances (Maddock et al., 2019).

Physiologically, water acts as a major component of the human body, which consists of approximately 60-70% water. Its primary source of microelements and minerals comes from food rather than water, but microelements in water—such as ions—are easily absorbed and penetrate cell membranes more effectively (Rodrigues et al., 2021). Essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, and sodium dissolved in water significantly support various cellular functions, including nerve transmission, muscle contraction, and enzyme activity (Liu et al., 2020). The quality of water, including mineral content, thus plays a role in nutritional health, particularly in regions where dietary mineral intake might be insufficient.

Hydration recommendations vary depending on individual health status, activity levels, climate, and age. Generally, the Institute of Medicine suggests a daily water intake of about 3.7 liters for men and 2.7 liters for women (National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, 2004). For individuals with kidney issues or compromised metabolic health, intake should be carefully tailored and monitored by healthcare professionals to prevent overhydration or dehydration. Consuming water at regular intervals throughout the day and especially before bedtime can help maintain optimal hydration status, although some concerns exist regarding nocturnal overhydration leading to renal strain—making personalized hydration schedules critical (Kavouras, 2018).

Understanding the central role of water in sustaining health underscores its importance as an accessible yet vital nutritional element. Promoting adequate water consumption, tailored to individual health needs, can significantly improve health outcomes, prevent disease, and enhance quality of life across diverse populations. Consequently, public health initiatives and patient education should emphasize the importance of regular, sufficient water intake, especially among vulnerable groups such as the elderly and those with existing health conditions.
