Hydration is necessary for the body to function. For one thing, water is essential for kidney health, as dehydration can result in crystals forming, which can hinder kidney function and lead to kidney-related diseases like kidney stones. Researchers in the UK, Australia and Canada have also found that drinking plenty of fluids helps the kidneys to clear sodium, urea and waste products from the body. This can lower the risk of developing chronic kidney disease.
Also, did you know that fatigue is one of the main effects of dehydration? Around 50 to 60 percent of our bodies are made up of water; not having enough of it in our system can cause us to feel more tired than usual as the body is working harder to pump nutrients to the cells, says Harvard Health Publishing.
