Reasons We Need To Drink Water
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. It is difficult
for the body to get water from any other source 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.
4. Water
plays a vital role in nearly every bodily function.
5. Water is essential
for proper digestion, nutrient absorption and chemical reactions.
6. Water is essential
for proper circulation in the body.
7. Water helps remove
toxins from the body, in particular from the digestive tract.
8. Water
regulates the body's cooling system.
9. Consistent failure
to drink enough water can lead to Chronic Cellular Dehydration. This
condition where the body's cell are never quite hydrated enough
leave them in a weaken state, vulnerable to attack from disease. It
weakens the body's overall immune system and leads to chemical,
nutritional and pH imbalances that can cause a host of diseases.
10. 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 dehydrate the body even quicker that when
it is hot. Many victims of diseases such as cholera die primarily
through dehydration, not from the disease itself.
General Rule: You should drink
half your weight in ounces of water every day to provide your body
with its MINIMUM water replacement requirements. |
