Water consumption is crucial in our day to day life. There are various reasons to drink water as it helps to keep the human body healthy and functional. The first reason is that water helps in regulating the fluid metabolism in the body. The term fluid metabolism refers to the requirement of a certain amount of fluid by the body for its proper functioning. The second fact is that water also acts as a cushion for our brain and spinal cord because the fluid around the brain and the spinal cord called cerebrospinal fluid is dependent on the water. The third reason is that water consumption helps to humidify the airways without which dryness can prevail. Water also helps in regulating the body temperature especially in summer when lots of water is lost through body sweat. The fifth reason to drink water is to flush out the toxins from the body and this is done by the liver and the kidneys. Water is very essential for kidney functioning. Though there are numerous reasons to drink sufficient water, it must also be kept in mind that overhydration is equally harmful as dehydration and hence it is advisable to drink water as per the body requirements.   Dr. Deeksha Chhabra, an internal medicine specialist from Delhi, speaks about the five reasons to drink water.
