Hey Everyone,
What is the importance of clean water? Clean water is very important to our communities, health, and economy.
For example, water in wetlands and streams offer habitats for wildlife and fish, recharges groundwater supplies, traps floods and filters pollution.
Many of the people around the world do get their drinking from rivers and streams which are vulnerable to pollution.
Our life depends mainly on the water so that we can swim, surf, paddle, and fish. All these activities keep us happy and healthy. Imagine how it brings families together in a positive way.
Without clean water, our major economic activities such as energy production, recreation, tourism, farming, and manufacturing cannot flourish or function.
Furthermore, human beings can survive about 21 days without food, only if they are able to drink clean water. Others with serious medical conditions don’t make it.
It’s quite saddening that billions of people around the world do not have access to clean water. This is a serious issue and more needs to done in this area to help people out.
Rather than pointing fault at others, jump in and donate to a charitable cause.
EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE ACCESS TO CLEAN WATER.
HEALTH BENEFITS OF CLEAN WATER
How do you feel after drinking a glass of refreshing water? Or, after a water detox? Great!
Experts say clean water is healing since it has numerous health benefits such as:
Offers nourishment.
Clean water is an important part of nutrition which you should not ignore. Nutritionists have revealed that our bodies are made up of 60 % water: this indicates how important water is to our bodies.
As a human being, you are supposed to be hydrated adequately so that your physiological systems can function with efficiency.
Clean water also assists in ensuring good health of the organs and it also allows blood to maintain the consistency that it needs so as to flow in a free manner. This allows it to transport nutrients and oxygen to all parts of the body.
Improves your mood.
Experts have revealed that dehydration is one of the things which can affect your ability to think and also your mood. When you are dehydrated you are likely to get anxiety, confusion and also fatigue.
Severe dehydration in your body can lead to other complications such as seizures, kidney failure and swelling in the brains. These can cause death.
Prevents diseases
Drinking contaminated water can lead to various types of diseases such as hepatitis A, typhoid and cholera.
It’s better to prevent diseases than to spend loads of money to cure them. In certain cases, some diseases are fatal.
Release of toxins
Safe, fresh and clean water also assists in getting rid of various types of toxins from the body. These toxins may be produced from the body reactions, outside sources and some can be due to the drinking of contaminated water.
Clean water is a wonderful detoxifier since it assists in removing toxins from the body through urine and sweat. It also improves the functioning of the kidneys and minimizes the occurrence of kidney stones by adulterating the minerals and salts which are the source of kidney stones.
Although we are advised of drinking a lot of water in day, experts says that excessive drinking of water may limit the ability of the kidneys to flush out the wastes.
Therefore it’s recommended that you drink about eight glasses of water in a day. You can also include other foods and fluids with high water content in your diet.
Assists in creating saliva
Water is one of the major component of saliva apart from enzymes, mucus, and electrolytes. Saliva is very vital as it assists in the breakdown of solid food and keeping your mouth healthy.
Regular intake of fluids helps the body to produce enough saliva. However, saliva production may decrease due to certain medication conditions or age.
In the case if you are drinking a lot of clean water but your mouth is still dry, then you should try and see the doctor.
Protects tissues, joints and spinal cord.
Consumption of clean water assists in lubricating and cushioning the tissues, joints and spinal cord.
This can help you to enjoy doing physical activities and minimize the discomfort which is caused by conditions such as arthritis.
Assists in weight loss
In case you wish to lose weight from your body you are advised to drink enough clean water. Water will make you feel full for long hours so you will eat less. Then, chances to loss pounds will increase.
Assists in keeping your skin bright
Drinking enough clean water will make your skin hydrated and can also promote the production of collagen.
However, water alone may not completely reduce the aging effects since this process is also associated with sun protection and genes. So, it makes sense to take care of yourself.
Personal hygiene
Even beyond drinking, recreation and habitats to animals and birds, clean water is also needed for personal hygiene.
For example, we need clean water so that we can bathe our bodies and flush our toilets so that we can eliminate hygienic diseases.
We also need clean water in washing our utensils, clothes and cleaning our houses.
Without clean water, we may suffer from so many diseases which are related to personal hygiene. Living germ free is a step closer to healthy living.
Survival of plants
All the plants including the plants that we eat and flowers which make our homes beautiful depend on clean water for their survival. Water prevents them from drying up and dying.
Many people who have access to water do ask themselves, “what is the importance of clean water?”,probably without a clue.
However for those who do have clean water and get a chance to read this guide will know precisely how important clean water is to our lives.
Thank you for reading with me today.

Great article about the most vital liquid, water. Without it life would not exist, as simple as that Maxine.
But if water is not clean, it may be a threat. Clean water, air and soil are essencial, more so than money.
