Here in Australia with a continuing long drought, talk of adding recycled water to water supplies or desalination plants one quickly realizes the importance of water.
The garden quickly dies without it, the lawn turns brown. Likewise as people without adequate water we die. When people talk about nutrition they talk about the eating leaner meat, green and yellow vegetables, but all this is pointless if you body is undergoing a drought.
Water makes approximately 70% plus of our body weight, and gets up to 90% in some cells. Quite frankly with a walking pools of water. Without it we quickly die. 3 days without water results in death. Too often we try to fill our water intake with drinks such as coffee and tea which result in caffeine problems and addiction as well as speeding up our body systems only to crash them back down into fatigue requiring yet another caffeine hit. The other way people tend to take in water is drinking soft drinks. However with 14 teaspoons of sugar in each can that is a huge quantity of sugar. This can result in sugar spikes in your system and insulin intolerance and lead to long term health problems.
How then do you avoid such "evils". Drink water plain and simple in the glass. I not suggesting you drink water out of the tap. Water out of the tap tastes disgusting thanks to chlorine, minerals and other contaminants thanks to traveling many kilometers through pipes that might be older than you. Do you really want to add contaminants or carcinogens to your body? A tap filter like a brita attachment can be good and will filter out 99% of contaminants.
Buying water from the store in a bottle can be too expensive. However signing up with a water provider who rent a in home or office water in 15 liter drums can be a great option. Though it can seem expensive its cheaper than buying soft drinks and cheaper than buying water by the bottle. Whats more its nice to drink because its chilled. I find this arrangement with water accessible at all times means I drink less rubbish and results in better health thanks to having the water that my body needs for good health.
Are you getting enough good clean water to have good health?
