Water is absolutely essential for survival. It plays a part
in almost every bodily function- from breathing to thinking. You can go many
weeks without food but only a few days without water.
Let me show you how our body uses water.
1. Water is required to transport nutrients throughout the body
via the bloodstream.
2. It dilutes toxins that our cells produce during metabolism
and carries them away.
3. It is part of every cell- 70% of our body is composed of
water.
4. It dissolves mineral build up in the body, helping to
eliminate arthritis and heart disease
5. It helps keep the colon clean. Our large intestine is
like a sewer system; keeping the body hydrated helps to keep it clean and gets
waste moving through it.
In our daily metabolic functions, our bodies lose between 4-6
pints of water. We lose water when we breathe, when we urinate and when we
sweat so it is imperative that all this water be replaced. Many people try to
replace the water they lose by drinking soft drinks, tea or coffee. These don’t
help the body at all and they actually add toxins to the bloodstream. Consuming
these liquids will require even more water in order to get the toxins they
contain out of your bloodstream.
I take 3 litres of water daily. 1 litre in the morning, 1 litre in the afternoon and 1 litre in the evening.
You should do the same. It will help your health and overall well being.
