            Six Benefits of Water Consumption

1. It lubricates the joints


Cartilage, found in joints and the disks of the spine, contains around 80 percent water. Long-term dehydration can reduce the joints' shock-absorbing ability, leading to joint pain.

2. It forms saliva and mucus

Saliva helps us digest our food and keeps the mouth, nose, and eyes moist. This prevents friction and damage. Drinking water also keeps the mouth clean. Consumed instead of sweetened beverages, it can also reduce tooth decay.

3. It delivers oxygen throughout the body

Blood is more than 90 percent water, and blood carries oxygen to different parts of the body.

4. It boosts skin health and beauty

With dehydration, the skin can become more vulnerable to skin disorders and premature wrinkling.

5. It cushions the brain, spinal cord, and other sensitive tissues

Dehydration can affect brain structure and function. It is also involved in the production of hormones and neurotransmitters. Prolonged dehydration can lead to problems with thinking and reasoning.

6. It regulates body temperature

Water that is stored in the middle layers of the skin comes to the skin's surface as sweat when the body heats up. As it evaporates, it cools the body. In sport.

Some scientists have suggested thatTrusted Source when there is too little water in the body, heat storage increases and the individual is less able to tolerate heat strain.

Having a lot of water in the body may reduce physical strain if heat stress occurs during exercise. However, more research is needed into these effects.

What Our Clients Are Saying

I have just been thru the first stage of the program and couldn't be more impressed! As a second generation ff in the same big City I think this program is awesome and long over due. My Dad (same City FF) died at the age of 40 from an MI, although I believe heavy smoking and lack of Scott air packs at that time may have been a factor! I'm in my 31st year on Brockton Fire and soon plan to retire. Your knowledge of Fire/Police was a complete relief to all I'm sure. I know there's things I need to change, with your help I'll set new goals. A Big thank to all who helped put this program together! P.S. Ladies..one thing you'll never see outside a Fire House.........A Ferrari
