Water is Essential to Our Health!
Our bodies are made of 70% water. The human body uses and loses water every day. We lose about 2.6 liters each day. Human bodies do not have any water storage areas. So replenishing water every day is essential.
How much do we need?
How much we need is largely dependent on our lifestyle and environment. Usually, people feel better when they are close to half your weight in ounces in water. Working slowly to get to this goal is key. It’s also important to drink away from meals so you don’t dilute stomach acid necessary for good digestion.
Water helps us by:
- Detoxifying our bodies
- Promoting healthy bowel and urination functions
- Assisting the brain relay messages to our bodies
- Controlling our weight
- Moisturizing our skin
- Thinking clearly
- Mineral Water – Water that contains natural minerals.
- Purified Water – The most type of common bottled water found that has been through a cleansing process.
- Wild Spring Water – Comes from natural sources with nothing added.
- Get yourself a filter so that you can use tap water from your home.
