Power Of Water
H20
WATER has
seen a surge
in popularity yet it is still often the
last drink choice. Every day, we
lose 2-3 quarts of water through
urination, sweating and breathing.
Since many of the processes within the body rely greatly on water, it
is important we replace our fluids
regularly to compensate for this
loss.
For the human body, water is
truly a vital resource. You can go
weeks without food but only 5-7
days without water. When the
water in your body is reduced by
just 1 percent, you become thirsty.
At 5 percent, muscle strength and
endurance declines significantly
and you become hot and tired.
When the loss reaches 10 percent,
delirium and blurred vision occur.
A 20 percent reduction results in
death.
There is no more important
nutrient for our bodies than water.
No other substance is as widely
involved in the processes and
make up of the body. A man’s
body is about 60 percent water,
and a woman’s is approximately
50 percent.
Your body is made up of about
60 percent water. Water is essential for removing waste from your
body, keeping tissues moist and
carrying nutrients to cells. You
also need water to keep you full,
protect your teeth and aid in digestion. To reap the benefits, men usually need about 13 cups of water
daily, while women require about

9 cups. However, your specific
needs may vary if you live in a hot
climate or exercise regularly.
