Good ole H2O

I've never been a fan  of water. And from the looks of my people watching... Not a lot of people fancy it either. A guy I worked with gulped down a 32 oz blue raspberry slurpee, a 20 oz Pepsi and a 12 oz fruity juice within a three hour period and no water in sight. I myself could drink tea all day and no water if it was left up to me... But since I am the holistic health conscious person that I am, I drink my water.

It baffles me that our bodies consist of 60-70 percent water and can still be dehydrated. The truth is nothing hydrates the body better than water. When the body is dehydrated all kinds of body parts can dry up and cause dis-ease and illness. "If you wait until you are thirsty, you are already dehydrated and this is affecting your cells." Water lubricates the joints. Its vital for all functioning. It will also boost your immune system and mental sharpness. "The human body needs a 7plus Ph range so that it can function properly. Drinking enough water throughout the day helps to maintain this balance. If you eat a lot of fruit and vegetables, you may be getting a lot of water in your food and may not need to drink as much as those who subsist on packaged, dry foods alone. On the flip side, too much water can be dangerous. Drinking too much water can also lead to electrolyte imbalances in non-athletes. Bottled water is more popular than ever, and for good reason. Tap water often tastes bad and, depending on where you live, it can contain unwanted contaminants. If you choose bottled water, the choices can be overwhelming. Some things you might see on the bottles include: spring water, distilled water, natural artesan water, mountain spring water, alpine spring water, and more. Confused yet? Adding to the confusion is the fact that many bottled water companies have been accused of putting misleading labels on their bottles. If you're really serious about your water, do the research on each company and find out which brand is best for you."

So cheers... to your health. Make it H2O.
