Thirsty?? Then Drink!!!

Thirsty?? Then Drink!!

The title might sound a bit weird ….what is he on about??

But just think about it for a minute of all the nutrients our bodies need which is the most important??  It’s Water!!!  Without a shadow of doubt THE most important nutrient available to us is water.  Yet it is also the one that is most frequently overlooked. 

Deficiencies of other nutrients can be sustained for months or even years, although they won’t do us any good, but we can only survive a few days without water.

Approximately 60% of our total body weight and even more essentially 80% of our brain is made up of water.

Water plays a vital role in all bodily functions and is the main component of all the blood that travels through your body, carrying the oxygen to your cells, muscles and organs.  Water is a universal medium for biochemical reactions in the body, joint lubrication, nutrient delivery, waste disposal, heat dispersion and temperature regulation.

Yet, many people are so dehydrated that they become sick.  When we don’t drink enough water, our bodily processes slow down, electrolytes and other nutrients can’t be transported properly around the body, cell function reduces, heat-loss becomes difficult, and waste products and toxins are not efficiently eliminated through the kidneys and can build up in our body over time.

How often do we choose any other drink rather than water??  Or we do exercise and don’t replenish the water that we lose. 

So what does that mean?

In my five years of researching and blogging in the health and nutrition industry I have to say: staying hydrated with the right water is the most important thing you can do for your health. If we don’t stay hydrated we soon begin to be struggling with our health. So if you want to make an easy immediate change to your well-being. Drink more water!!! This will improve all functions in the body and also help to detox the body by eliminating toxins from the body.

I hope that was helpful. If you have any questions at all on what I have talked about, definitely reach out to me in the comments of this post and I will get back to you!  I need to go now, I’m feeling a bit parched.
