Why is water important to humans

Water is the essential component of all life. It covers 70% of the Earth’s surface, it makes up 75% of the human body, 90% of blood and sap. 97% of Earth’s water is in the oceans, 2% is frozen in icecaps, 1% is fresh, but much of this is inaccessible to man kind, deep in the Earth.
From the 1% what is left, we use roughly 98% for agricultural and industrial purposes. Roughly 2% is used for the nutrition and health of every living organism.

Healthy water carries minerals, nutrients, dissolved salts and trace elements…the building blocks of growth, and healing energies.  It disposes of waste and is constantly cooling, cleansing and purifying itself. Our bodies depend on water (as blood) as a catalyst, a transport system, to maintain our correct body temperature, to supply nutrients and electrical impulses. Dehydration is a common source of illness!  We need to drink 1 – 2 litres of good water every day.  As we grow older we need more water to keep our bodies hydrated. Tea, coffee, concentrated juice, energy drinks and alcohol all dehydrate the body, therefore, if we take them we need to drink more good water to compensate.

It has been said water is life and we fully agree without it nothing living would survive on earth.  So, why is it that we have seen a rise in disease?  One could argue it is a lack of pure water.  There is so much choice that we come by each day and it makes it difficult to make the proper decisions on the food we eat and the liquids we drink.

If you are not drinking at least 1-2 litres of water each day you are not giving your body the proper hydration it needs to work properly and flush out toxins. 

If you are not a big water drinker here a few tips to help you remember to drink it.

• Always carry a re-usable water bottle or your AlkaMate full of water
• Hydrate your body first thing in the morning with a full glass of water
• Put a glass of water beside your bed each night
• Most cell phones have alarms – set yours to remind you to drink your water

You can drink healthy water with an AlkaMate – your portable alkaline water bottle.  This helps to filter your water but also alkalizes your water.  Helping you absorb your water more easily.
