 Water is important in keeping the body strong. Two-thirds of the adult human body is water - salt water. Humans drink fresh water, yet their bodies are 75 percent saline. Simply taste a tear or a bead of sweat for its salt content. This is one reason why humans need to drink ample amounts of fresh water every day. It keeps the body's salt concentrations low, easing stress on the kidneys and preventing dehydration. Plus, the average adult eliminates approximately eight cups of water a day by sweating, urinating, crying, and creating saliva. It is essential to replace what is lost. That does not mean you should drink saline water, it is important to drink pure clean water! Instead of drinking sodas throughout day, get into the habit of walking around with a bottle of water - all day long. You'll have more energy, feel better, feel full, and flush out toxins with proper urination. All of our body's cells float in water. As a matter of fact, they reproduce in a watery base. If there is insufficient water available in your body, the cells have difficulty duplicating. This can cause an assortment of problems. Water provides the liquid medium for the blood, for the digestive juices, and the elimination of waste. Water is critical for the regulation of body temperature, too. Drink water more than any other liquid, especially after meals to aid in digestion. Never drink liquids while eating. Your mouth contains digestive juices necessary to begin the digestive process, and washing down your food with liquids washes away the digestive enzymes in the saliva. Drink after you have completely swallowed your food or after the meal. Just as nutritious foods can promote a feeling of general wellbeing and increased vigor, a partial deficiency of vitamins can create a vague, overall feeling of being rundown, and generally results in a lowered resistance to infection, increased nervousness, fatigue, and a poor appetite. A diet of nutritionally void foods such as fat-free, sugar-free, bleached, processed foods can create depression and can increase feelings of stress. Whether you have an apartment or a house you can have clean filtered/purified water when you open your tap! |
