Here are some ways our bodies use water:
It is required to transport nutrients throughout the body via the bloodstream.
It stabilizes and cools us, allowing us to maintain proper body temperature.
It hydrates our skin from the inside - it's the best lotion around!
It dilutes toxins that our cells produce during metabolism and carries them away.
It is part of every cell - 70 percent of our body is composed of water.
Saliva is used to moisten and predigest cooked food in our mouths.
It helps keep the colon clean. Our large intestine is like a sewer system; keeping the body hydrated helps keep it clean and waste moving through it.
It dissolves mineral buildup in the body, helping to eliminate arthritis and heart disease.
Wow! Thanks, George Malkmus! (From The Hallelujah Diet, pg. 183-184) We can see from reading this list that water plays a part in almost every body function! We can't go long without water - only a few days - water is absolutely essential for survival!
Here's to your health!
