Why Drink Water?


Unlike anything else we put into our bodies, water must be consumed in ample amounts on a daily basis. It is the ultimate essential nutrient. The body can sustain life without food for an extended period of time, but without water physiological processes are comprised and death occurs in a matter of days.

Water molecules are found in and between every cell of our body. More than half of our total body weight is water (approximately 60-75%). It helps to form the structures of macromolecules such as proteins and glycogen; acts as the solvent for vitamins, minerals, glucose, amino acids and many other nutrients; and serves as the main transport system of the body, moving nutrients, toxins and waste products to their respective destinations. Water also plays a key role in the bodies thermoregulatory mechanism, and with nutrient digestion and absorption. All of our bodies biochemical reactions occur in water, and water is an active participant in each of the reactions. It is safe to say that water is the most underrated, often overlooked, yet essential compound that every human being needs for survival.
