Drinking Water Is Important

Drinking water is crucial for personal health because it plays a vital role in maintaining bodily functions and overall well-being. Here are some key reasons why staying hydrated is important:

Regulates Body Temperature: Water helps regulate body temperature through sweating and respiration. Staying hydrated ensures your body can effectively cool itself during physical activity or in hot environments.

Supports Digestion: Water aids in breaking down food and absorbing nutrients. It also helps prevent constipation by keeping the digestive system functioning smoothly.

Flushes Out Toxins: Water is essential for kidney function, helping to flush out waste products and toxins through urine. Proper hydration reduces the risk of kidney stones and urinary tract infections.

Maintains Blood Pressure: Adequate hydration helps maintain blood volume, which is necessary for proper circulation and blood pressure regulation.

Lubricates Joints: Water acts as a lubricant for joints, reducing friction and preventing discomfort or injury during movement.

Boosts Skin Health: Proper hydration keeps skin moisturized, improving elasticity and reducing the appearance of dryness and wrinkles.

Enhances Cognitive Function: Dehydration can impair concentration, memory, and mood. Drinking enough water supports brain function and mental clarity.

Supports Physical Performance: Staying hydrated improves endurance, strength, and overall physical performance, especially during exercise.

Prevents Dehydration: Dehydration can lead to headaches, fatigue, dizziness, and more severe health issues like heatstroke or organ failure in extreme cases.

Aids in Weight Management: Drinking water can help control appetite and boost metabolism, supporting weight loss or maintenance efforts.

The amount of water needed varies depending on factors like age, activity level, climate, and overall health, but a general guideline is to drink at least 8 cups (64 ounces) of water daily. Listening to your body’s thirst signals is also important to stay properly hydrated.

PUNTLAND LEFT BEHIND IN EDUCATION AND HEALTH SERVICES

WDM EDITORIAL

In an early article from this blog, https://ismailwarsame.blog/2022/07/31/the-bleak-situation-of-readership-in-somalia/, we articulated that people who don’t read isn’t only literally backward, but it is also safe to say that they will have no future because they will not only lose their freedoms, but also their country. Tell me any county of nomadic population, which had established a strong nation. You won’t find one. Why? Besides their backward ways of existence, they don’t go to school to learn new and modern ways to make societal progress?

Although Puntland education was lagging behind Mogadishu and Somaliland, we hear these days that even textbooks for students whose primary and secondary schools were historically struggling to stay open, are beyond reach of already poor purchasing power of these students and families. Certain social media and radio broadcasts are reporting stress signals and interviews from parents on the issue. Some even speculate that mercyless and politically connected Puntland merchants are exploiting the situation with sales offer of more than fifty US dollars a class. Such prizes even in rich countries are not acceptable.This is worse than loanshark business, taking advantage of poor and low income population. Health sector fares no better either with Puntland sick traveling long distances to Hargeisa, Mogadishu and beyond.

Puntland Government must step in to address the alarming state of affairs with education, health and other important social services sectors.
