Water accounts for 60% of our total body weight. EVERY biological process depends on water. EVERY body cell needs water to carry out its functions. Water helps carry away waste. Water helps lubricate joints. Water gives you more energy. Water supplies oxygen and nutrients to cells and removes the cellular waste through the blood and lymphatic systems. Water is depended on to control your body temperature, blood pressure, and respiration. Wow! Water is essential to good health and feeling great.
You might be thinking, “But what about tea, soda, or my coffee, they are all made with water so they must count.” Well, I am truly sorry, but they do not count because they contain DEhydrating agents like caffeine and acids.
There can be no detectable symptom of dehydration, or you can experience fatigue and/or headaches which are the top symptoms of dehydration. The main problem is what is going on inside your cells. If you a constipated, tired, experiencing joint pain, headaches, problems with your sinuses, frequent colds, premature aging (wrinkles), acne, dry skin, blood pressure problems, or just not feel your best. Try water!
Drink at least 8 glasses per day. I would not recommend tap water. I would recommend drinking water purified by using reverse osmosis.
Warning, when you first start drinking water you will urinate a lot. Just know that this is only temporary while your body is getting use to the change, and balancing itself out.
