Why
Do We Need To Drink Water ?
Water is the substance of life.
Life can not exist without Water.
We must constantly be adding fresh
water to our body in order to keep it properly hydrated.
The body is comprised of 80% water.
There is not a more important thing
we put in our body.
This ratio must be maintained for
good health.
It is difficult for the body to get
water from any other source other than water itself.
Soft drinks and alcohol steal
tremendous amounts of water from the body.
However, even other beverages such as
coffee, milk and juice require water from the body to be properly digested.
Water is essential for proper
digestion, nutrient absorption and chemical reactions.
Water is essential for proper
circulation in the body, and flexibility of the blood vessels.
Water helps remove toxins (acidic
waste) from the body, in particular from the digestive tract.
Water regulates your body's
temperature, imagine a car running without water in the radiator.
Consistent failure to drink enough
water can lead to Chronic Cellular Dehydration.
This condition where the body's cells
do not get hydrated enough leaving them in a weakened state, and vulnerable to
disease processes.
This could be likened to “brittleness
and fragile”.
It weakens the body's overall immune
system and leads to chemical, nutritional and pH imbalances.
Dehydration can occur at any time of
the year, not only during the summer months when it is hot.
The dryness that occurs during winter
can also dehydrate the body quicker than when it is hot, one of the main causes
being central heating and a dry atmosphere in the home.
The other being not drinking enough
water.
Many diseases such as cholera are
primarily through dehydration.
