Water is not just meant to quench thirst, its amazing benefits are revealed in a recent study

Water is life, if there is water then there is tomorrow - we all must have heard or read these lines explaining the importance of water somewhere. It is very difficult to imagine life without water. You can die without water in a day. Our body contains up to 60 percent water and it is very important for many functions of the body and to stay healthy. Meanwhile, a new study has come out about water. This study revealed that apart from quenching thirst, water is very important for you for other reasons as well.

A research by researchers at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) found that drinking enough water daily can help you lose weight and prevent kidney stones. Apart from this, adequate hydration can prevent migraines, headaches and urinary tract infections (UTIs). It also controls diabetes, blood sugar levels and low blood pressure. Let's know what the latest study says and the benefits of drinking enough water daily-

What does the study say?

About 18 studies found that drinking enough water daily helped with weight loss and kidney stone prevention. And in three of the four weight loss studies, overweight and obese adults were asked to drink 1,500 milliliters (6.3 cups) a day before meals. After 12 weeks to a year, those who increased their water intake lost 44% to 100% more weight than the other participants. In the fourth study, which involved teenagers, drinking 2,000 milliliters (8.5 cups) a day for six months had no relationship to weight.

In addition, the UCSF researchers also highlighted the following benefits of water that were found in other studies, although these results were not statistically significant:-

Headaches and migraines

Adults with frequent headaches experienced significant migraine relief after increasing their water intake for three months.

Diabetes and blood sugar

At the same time, people suffering from type 2 diabetes who drank 1,000 ml (4.2 cups) of water daily before meals for eight weeks reduced their blood sugar levels.
