Water is critical to our health. Water is used to flush impurities out of the body, transport nutrients, aid digestion, circulation, and more.
For peak physical performance and outstanding energy, the human body requires that we drink half of our desired body weight in ounces of water each day. If your desired body weight was 150lbs, that would mean 150 ounces or about 4 liters per day. If you exercise in extreme heat, you can lose up to a pound of water per hour. Studies have shown that to release body fat you require a minimum of 10 glasses (2.5L) of water per day. Herbal teas and mineral water can be substituted for water.
Oxygen is carried to our muscles through the blood. If our blood become thick from dehydration that means all of our muscles will decrease function. Breathing becomes more laborious, and the body begins to overheat.
If you find it difficult to drink water, try adding a squeeze of fresh lemon or lime juice, a tiny pinch of celtic sea salt, or a greens powder. You can experience many physical miracles by regularly consuming adequate amounts of water. Many people find that adding a pinch of sea salt to the water also reduces frequency of urination.
It's unfortunate that as living beings totally dependent on the earth for our survival, we have polluted almost every single water supply in the world! Nearly all municipal water supplies are contaminated by agricultural chemicals. It is estimated that there are nearly 30, 000 hazardous and unregulated pollutants regularly occuring in our drinking water. It is very smart, worthwhile and proactive to purchase a whole-house filtration system to minimize exposure to heavy metals, chlorine, and other toxins. To quote Paul Chek, "if it's on your skin, you're basically drinking it". Consider that the water you bath in should be as clean as the water you drink. Since our bodies are 75% water, we are wise to seek out good quality water.
