Importance of water

Anything that is “ergogenic” is intended to enhance performance, stamina, or recovery. Water is the OG ergogenic aid, and hitting a water goal should be part of your journey to better health.

Water makes up huge parts of your body: bone, muscle, brain, blood.

It removes CO2 from working muscles.

It helps regulate body temperature.

It helps lubricate joints, tissue connections, and your spinal cord.

It aids in proper kidney function (responsible for clearing out toxins).

It helps with digestion & nutrient absorption.

It increases fluid and oxygen transport in blood.

It prevents dehydration (even slight dehydration can decrease your athletic performance).

And it can help keep you full (putting anything in your stomach, even water, causes it to stretch – this temporarily reduces the release of ghrelin, your hunger hormone).
