It also helps control the body's defense mechanism. Asthmatics' histamine levels increase with dehydration, mobilizing their body's defense mechanism to close down their airways. Knowing this, we can draw the conclusion that asthma could be relieved through increased water intake. When there aren't adequate amounts of water, these wastes aren't removed effectively and kidney damage may result. Water and Joints Cartilage tissues between the vertebrae of the spine and at the end of long bones retain a lot of water.
Cartilage needs water for the purpose of lubricating the body's joints during movement.
When the cartilage is well hydrated, the two opposing surfaces glide freely and minimize damage to the joint caused by friction. Conversely, dehydrated cartilage increases friction forces to the joints, resulting in joint deterioration and pain. Your spine is dependent upon the hydraulic properties of water. Water and Muscles Muscles are primarily composed of water. Therefore, it's only logical to drink lots of water if you want to have more muscle mass.
