Most
of the time, however, the thought of the necessity of water
is far from minds preoccupied with daily details. Many people ignore
or forget that regular daily water intake is essential to life.
You may
wrongly assume that any liquid is adequate for the body's
needs since it contains water. However, there is a crucial need for
drinking 48 to 64 ounces of pure water each day. Only pure clean water
meets the body's needs.
WHY IS WATER
SO IMPORTANT?
To some extent we all take water for granted. It is an amazing substance --
a compound of basic elements -- hydrogen and oxygen -- that can be solid,
liquid or gas. Most importantly, water is absolutely necessary for life.
There is
a key correlation between adequate water and health. Most
of us do not take in anywhere near the amount of good quality water we need.
The adult human
body is 60% water by weight, and 75% by volume. All living organisms consist
mostly of water.
The water in us is vital to our life-sustaining functions -- breathing,
circulation, digestion, elimination, secretion, heat dissipation and the
activities of most organs.
Through perspiration and elimination the body loses 3-8 pints of fluid
daily. To maintain health, this must be replaced each day. Most people are
severely dehydrated. Besides food and beverages, we need 6-8 glasses or more
of pure water daily. The coffee, tea and soda pop many drink for their
beverages of choice, are actually very dehydrating.
While the body can survive up to two months without food, it cannot live
longer than a few days without water. Most states of illness can be improved
by consuming adequate pure water. You could have greater energy, everything
would work better, and many symptoms of ill health may disappear.
You need purified water to keep the body clean inside. Most of us have sludge-like
toxic waste circulating, polluting our cells and aging us prematurely.
Your body is calling for water all the time, and you are probably ignoring
the signals. Thirst; dry, itchy skin; dried mucus in the nose; and difficult
bowel elimination are just a few of them. Ailments and illnesses caused or
worsened by dehydration can become serious over time.
Today's water is
not structured properly for biological systems either. There are things that
can be done to purify water and improve it so that it performs better in its primary
functions in the body, such as penetrating membranes and carrying substances
in and out of tissues and cells. Bottled water is not ideal for meeting our
need for water.
We
need to take in the best water we can get, all day every day -- safe
water that has been processed through a good pure water system. Have a
supply of biologically-compatible pure water with you, and sip it
regularly.
The most
convenient and effective way to have good quality water is to set up your
own water purifier for filtered water right in your kitchen and bathroom. Why
not have a water purification system that gives you the best water
economically?
NOTE: Every home absolutely
needs a water purifier for both drinking water and
showering and bathing. No matter where you live, there
are contaminants in your water. Core samples of ice at
the North Pole were found to have pollutants in it.
If you live in a city, the water
treatment plant is adding chlorine to your water to
prevent illness from bacteria and toxic algae. Other
chemicals are added for other reasons. It is up to you to
remove the chemicals at the point of use to protect
yourself from the serious long term effects of these
poisons.
