Importance of Water

70 % of your body is made up of water. Not drinking enough water will leave you under-hydrated or even dehydrated.

Experts have said it is necessary to drink eight glasses of water per day in order for our systems to function at optimum levels. Water allows our body to effectively absorb the nutrients that we need from food and systematically flushes our kidneys of waste.

When we are drinking water for health our blood thins as it should; when we are dehydrated, blood becomes thicker making our bodies work harder to pump it; this makes the overall functions of the body slow and inefficient.

A part of drinking water for health is to allow our body to effectively digest our food; without water our body cannot effectively eliminate waste.
