Pure Water

Why.
Water is essential for life. Water is a component of blood; many nutrients are dissolved in water so they can be absorbed effectively in the digestive tract.  Cells need to be bathed in water. Water carries waste from our body, and water absorbs and transports heat so that our skin, muscles and vital organs maintain the proper temperature.  Drinking enough pure water is essential for elimination and preventing constipation. 

You need to hydrate.  Pure water is essential to maintaining stamina.  Even getting mildly dehydrated can comprise normal physiology.   Did you know that sometimes we might think we are hungry when we are really thirsty?   Pure water can help keep your skin clear and glowing too!

What to do.  
Drink at least 48 ounces of pure water per day.  Don’t let yourself get thirsty.  Start with a glass of water in the morning before your coffee, tea or breakfast.  Have water in your car, at your desk, in your bag or briefcase, keep it handy. Choose water purifiers at home and good bottled water.
