Water and your body

16 June 2020

A human body is made up of approximately 60%, water đź’§ which is a staggeringly large number when you think about the body as a whole.

The brain and heart are recorded as having a water 💧 composition of approximately 73% water amongst their other makeup. So when your body is lacking water, your brain and heart can greatly suffer. But they’re not the only organs. Technically speaking, your skin is the largest organ of your body, and it’s made up of 64% water. Then there are your muscles and kidneys—both of which are 79% water, and your bones that have about 31% water makeup. If you think about it, it’s extremely important to maintain good hydration levels to allow your body to be its best.

-Darker coloured urine (medium yellow to a brown range) -Feeling tingling sensations throughout the body -Headaches that worsen and turn into migraines -Sensitive vision or a general heaviness in the eyes -A “brain fog” feeling when trying to do work or be social -Constipation -Increased stress levels
