Understanding the Relationship Between Water and Your Immune System

Understanding the Relationship Between Water and Your Immune System - hellowater®

Water makes up around 60% of the human body. It’s found in all the body’s tissues and cells and helps facilitate the proper function of various body systems. One of the systems that rely heavily on your fluid consumption is your immune system. The link between water and your immune system is stronger than you may realize.

If you currently get sick very easily despite trying to exercise and follow a healthy diet, your problem may be traced back to drinking too little water throughout the day. Though it may sound simplistic, drinking more water could provide your immune system with the boost it needs to start fighting off illnesses more effectively.

When your body is dehydrated, it becomes an optimal breeding ground for unwanted bacteria and viruses. That’s why it’s so important to make sure you drink the optimal amount of water for your body’s needs every single day.

What To Know About Water and Your Immune System

Water plays a variety of important functions in your body. From lubricating the joints to getting rid of toxins in the body, adequate fluid intake is essential for supporting your body’s various processes. It’s also important for strong skin, which is your immune system’s first line of defense against pathogens.

If you’re looking for ways to stave off infections and illnesses, the answer may be “clear” as day! Water and your immune system are a match made in heaven. When you stay hydrated by drinking at least the recommended amount of water for your height and weight, you help your body naturally eliminate bacteria and toxins that can cause illness. Fluids help flush unwanted substances out of the body before they can do a lot of damage.

When it comes to staying hydrated, not all liquids are created equal. For example, some of the beverages people commonly drink hoping to stay hydrated can dehydrate them. If that seems confusing, consider that many people drink sodas and coffee throughout the day. These drinks contain caffeine, which is a known diuretic.

A diuretic is a substance or medicine that increases the amount of urine your body produces. The problem is that as your urine production increases, your risk of dehydration also increases. To keep more liquid in your body where it can work to keep you hydrated, it’s best to drink primarily water throughout the day.

If you don’t like the taste of water (believe us, it’s a very common complaint from many people), there are now many lightly flavored water options available. But, you need to ensure that the flavored water you are selecting doesn’t contain a lot of sugar or artificial flavors (trust us – it kinda defeats the purpose!). hellowater® is a great solution because our water has a robust fruity flavor that adds enough taste to make it interesting for your tongue.
