Drink Your Way To Good Health

If you really want to have great health, you can drink your
way to it. Water is the substance of life. The majority of
people on earth are dehydrated, and they don't even realize
it. In fact, nutritionists report that about 80% of the
people on earth are dehydrated. Before you assume that you
are not in that group, because you don't feel thirsty, you
need to realize that thirst really has nothing to do with
dehydration.

You may also believe that you get enough water because you
drink beverages that have water as an ingredient, such as
coffee, tea, and sodas. Even though these beverages are
made with water, when they are ingested, they actually
cause us to lose water! You don't need other beverages -
what you need is water. Those other beverages should be a
once-in-a-while thing, not a daily thing!

Even though we can't survive under water, we are water
oriented. 70% of the earth is covered by water, and
two-thirds of our bodies consist of water. Approximately
83% of our blood is water, 75% of our muscles are water,
22% of our bones are water, and 74% of our brains are
water. Our brains even float around in water!

With these percentages, it should be obvious as to why we
require water to live. The water in our bodies is lost
every minute of every day - through sweat, tears, and
urination - and simply through our pores. You are losing
water right now, at this very moment, and it needs to be
replaced.

If you increase your water intake to eight glasses per day,
in about a week's time, you will notice that you have more
energy, your mind is clearer, your skin is healthier, and
your food digests easier. Water will help you lose weight,
remove toxins from your body, and help you absorb nutrients
and vitamins.

Not just any water will do, however. You should avoid
drinking tap water. Go with bottled water that has been
purified or better yet, choose bottled spring water that is
all natural. Tap water generally is full of toxins that you
don't want in your body.

Furthermore, aside from your daily eight glasses of water,
you should drink one glass of water for every cup of coffee
or tea you have, as well as for every soda, and one glass
of water for every cigarette you smoke - if you do smoke,
and one glass of water for every glass of an alcoholic
drink that you have. If you have unhealthy habits, you may
find yourself drinking a great deal of water each day to
combat the ill effects of those unhealthy habits!
