Drinking water

 Maryland, USA: A study has revealed that drinking water not only keeps many diseases away including heart disease but can also significantly increase the length of life.



The study is the first of its kind to look at the relationship between longevity biomarkers and the presence of water in the blood. Experts from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the United States insist that people who do not drink enough water can suffer from many diseases and die earlier than the average age.


The same team also conducted research on water in the year 2019 and 2022 and said that drinking less water for a long time can not only increase the risk of heart diseases and other diseases, but also affects the length of life. However, he had previously conducted research on rats and reported that if they were given adequate amounts of water, the rats' lives could be extended by 6 months, which is equivalent to 15 years in human life.

The same team collected data from humans in their new study. This research started in the late 1980s, in which a total of 15,000 people were evaluated and the study continued for a total of 25 years.


Hydration is measured by blood sodium levels between 135 and 145 mmol/l (millimol per liter), but not drinking enough water can increase sodium levels. All participants in the study had blood sodium levels measured over a 25-year period. Along with this, 15 biological markers that indicate biological age were noted. These include blood pressure, immune biomarkers and blood sugar levels, among others.


Experts noted that those with blood sodium levels above 142 mmol/L had a 15% longer biological lifespan than normal. Similarly, people whose blood sodium content was 144 mmol per liter had a 50% longer biological life. In other words, their body and organs were getting a little older compared to their age. Then the risk of chronic but fatal diseases such as heart failure, diabetes and dementia was also noted in such people.


This is the reason why scientists have said that all people should ensure an excess of water in the body.
