Got Water?

I don't think there is enough emphesis on how important consumption of water is to your health. About 75% of our body is water. As noted earlier, about 80% of our blood is water. Since our blood is the source of life, water is essential to our health and life. Not only is it essential to life, but it offers so many health benefits.

The Processor.
Our blood is what helps us keep going. It runs nutrients throughout our bodies to the cells that keep us functioning. Consuming water helps replenish our blood to help it run smoother through our body; transporting the nutrients to our organs. Water also helps drain toxins from our bodies, to keep us running healthy and strong. When you drink water, it helps flush out toxins that are deposited through different foods we eat, and the air we breathe. Water also helps flush our our kidneys to keep them running healthy.

The prevention.
Consumption of water helps balance out our Ph levels to prevent illness. It also provides electrolytes to help  your cells regenerate and fight off bacteria. Haven't you ever noticed that whenever you have a cold or the flu, or even diarrhea, you are advised to drink lots of water. The minerals and electrolytes in the water are wonderful tools for your white blood cells to help fight off sickness. Keeping hydrated with water can prevent you from getting sick or can help fight off that sickness you have faster.

Weight-loss.
Yes, water assists with weight-loss! Water helps break down proteins and carbohydrates. Breaking down proteins, carbohydrates and other nutrients helps avoid fat deposits to develop. The more water you drink, the more you allow your body to metabolize your food intake instead of letting them add to fat deposits. Keeping your cells hydrated will help you avoid gaining any excess fat, and let your cells metabolize your food. Drinking water also helps keep your muscles hydrated and working well. Allowing your muscles to function effectively helps lessen your fat deposits as well.

There are so many more benefits to water consumption. Water is important for body functioning, preventing and fighting sickness and weight-loss. It is also helpful to your skin's health, cholesterol and other health benefits. Water is essential to life, and why not maintain your health and life with water? So...Got Water?
