Is hydration important?

Water is an

essential component of the body and is essential for maintaining normal body function. Adequate water intake is one of the keys to maintaining health. Proper water intake helps maintain the body's water balance and prevents dehydration and dryness.

Moreover, if you do not replenish enough water, dehydration may cause increased blood viscosity, affecting blood circulation and possibly causing cardiovascular problems. Dehydration may also affect the normal function of the kidneys and lead to the accumulation of toxins.

Therefore, adults should drink enough water every day. It is generally recommended to drink at least 6-8 glasses of water every day. In addition to drinking water directly, you can also increase water intake by eating foods containing high water, such as fruits and vegetables. During strenuous exercise, high temperature environment or illness, the body's water loss will increase and you need to replenish water more frequently.
