WONDERFUL WATER

Water is life! It is the number one nutritional factor. After all, we can only survive for about forty-eight hours without it. I have interviewed scores of people, and low water intake is the most common reason for low energy. Just imagine that each cell in your body is like a grape. When you don't drink enough water, your cells begin to look like raisins. Do you want your skin or muscle cells to look like raisins?
Your muscle tissues is about 75 percent water, and your blood is about 90 percent. When you don't drink enough, your body becomes less efficient at transporting nutrients to all the cells in your body and carrying waste products from the cells to the kidneys for excretion in urine. Your body also needs water to:
* digest your food
* lubricate your joints
* create a protective cushion around your organs and tissues, including the eyes and spinal cord
* metabolise fat
* regulate your body temperature through sweating.

Your body will always deal with the most important bodily functions first. It needs sufficient water to do it's work, so you should drink at least eight to ten glasses a day and more on the days you exercise, due to increased sweating and breathing . Here's why: The average person loses ten cups of water per day- two cops to sweating and ever oration, two cups to breathing, and six cups to waste removal. You can replace unto two cups through the water in the foods you eat, but you have to make up the remaining eight cups by drinking fluids, preferably pure water.
Dehydration causes numerous symptoms including fatigue, poor concentration , headaches, blurred vision, and lack of neuromuscular
control. When you are hungry, start off with a glass of fresh water. If you are feeling low on energy or of something hurts ( like a headache), drink a glass of water. If you wait to drink water until you are thirsty, you are already dehydrated. So drink at least two to four glasses every hour you are awake, whether you feel like it or not.
The best way to develop a water habit is to have it with you at all times in your car, at your desk, at the bedroom table, when you are getting ready in the morning. Carry your water bottle with you everywhere and drink up?
