Water is Life.

Water is Life. Life is Water.

What would happen to your organs if you stopped drinking water?

Would you drink your own urine when no options are there? and how long till you turn into a piece of human jerky?

Really, though, why would you do that? Stop!

What if you quit drinking? This is what would happen. Water has uses beyond sustaining life. The majority of you are guilty. 50–70% of what makes up a person is water. Without water, nothing would be possible in this world or even in your life. This liquid helps organize your body on a tiny level, producing cells and igniting their chemical interactions to give nourishment.

Giving up water would be equivalent to dying, but before you turn into a pile of dust, your body will undergo other drastic changes in the first few hours. Your thirst would be minimal during this time, which would be the easy part of the process. Throughout this process, you'd need to slow down and take it easy because you don't want to sweat out the water that is still inside of you. Your body also knows that you need every last drop of this priceless substance, and your organs would hold on tightly to the water.

Over the next couple of days, 4% of your body weight would have vanished, but you wouldn't look good because your blood would have thickened and concentrated to the point where you couldn't sweat anymore and the slightest amount of heat could kill you. Your heart rate would increase rapidly to maintain normal oxygen levels, and your body would be fighting to stay alive. You would struggle to maintain consciousness as your blood pressure dropped, so you might want to go back to sleep so you can avoid the real pain that would occur on day four without water. You would be extremely dehydrated, making even the simplest tasks impossible, and you would be so exhausted that you wouldn't be able to function. Your other vital organs like your kidneys and gut would be receiving very little blood, cellular waste would build up in your system, and those toxins would make your muscles sensitive and inflamed.

If you were thinking to drink your own urine to stay alive is one thing that you should do—please stop—that won't help. Your body would have to work even harder to filter your pee at this point since it is so polluted. By day five, you would have lost 10% of your body weight in water, your liver would be about to stop functioning entirely, the rest of your organs would be reaching critically high temperatures, and you would likely have gone days without having a bowel movement.

You would be regretting this terrible choice right now. I mean, if you were still alive, how would you recover? Well, you'd have to check into a hospital right away, and doctors would need to rehydrate your body with an IV in order to get sugar and electrolytes back into your system in about two to three days. However, even if you were to recover from this extreme situation, the damage might be permanent. For example, your kidneys might be damaged and possibly diseased, and you might get urinary tract infections. You might even have to live the rest Dehydration is a severe issue that can result in shocking chronic health issues, but what if you overdid it with your recovery? What if?

This scenario serves as a stark reminder of the vital importance of water for our survival and overall well-being. It underscores the need to stay properly hydrated and not take this life-sustaining resource for granted. Neglecting to provide our bodies with sufficient water can lead to severe health consequences that could potentially be irreversible. It is crucial to recognize and prioritize the significance of water in our lives and ensure that we maintain adequate hydration to support our body's functions and overall health.
