Core
Hydration | An
estimated 75% of North Americans are chronically dehydrated. Most do not even
manage to consume the minimum required eight glasses of water per day. Water is
your body's principal chemical component comprising approximately 60% of your
body weight. Every system in your body depends on water. Water flushes toxins
out of vital organs and carries nutrients to your cells. Many
people believe that any liquid can hydrate the body. In fact, nothing can replace
water for proper hydration of the body. To the contrary, drinks such as soda pop,
processed juice, coffee or alcohol dehydrate the body and lower the body energy.
In
the extraordinary book "Many Cries For Water" F. Batmanghelidj, M.D.
explains why your body needs water every day. Here is a summary:
- Without
water nothing lives.
- Shortage
of water kills cells of the body.
- Water
is the main source of energy; it is "The Cash Flow" of the body.
- Water
generates electrical and magnetic energy.
- Water
greatly increases the efficiency of the immune system.
- Water
is the main solvent for all foods, vitamins and minerals.
- Water
is used in the breakdown of food into smaller particles and their eventual metabolism.
Water
makes up approximately 60% of your body, and is the medium through which all of
your body's functions occur. Adequate daily water intake is essential for proper
brain function, proper transmission of nerve impulses, healthy digestion and metabolism,
adequate transport of oxygen to cells and tissues via the bloodstream, regulation
of temperature and more. So, carry water with you everywhere you go in a bottle
or other container. Before long, you'll find yourself reaching for it without
a second thought. More
