MORE WATER, MORE LIFE...DRINK UP!

           MORE WATER, MORE LIFE...DRINK UP!

Making up over two~thirds of body weight, 95% of the brain, 82% of blood and 90% of the lungs shows how important water is to life. It is indeed life. It serves as a lubricant and regulates the body temperature. Transports nutrients in the blood stream and sends waste materials out of our body. We lose water every day through breath, perspiration(sweat), urine and bowel movement and there is a need to replenish all that we lose by taking in water, fruits and vegetables that contain water such as watermelon, strawberries, pineapples, oranges,apples, pear, bananas, cucumber, lettuce, tomatoes and the list goes on and on and on.A merely 2% drop in our body's water supply can trigger dehydration which is a common cause of daytime fatigue. Dehydration causes confusion, dizziness,fainting and a decrease urine output. It also gives you difficulty in focusing on basic math and understanding a simple reading. Just about 8 ounce (2 litres) glasses of water a day is okay for a healthy adult, but depending on your body condition or disease state you might need more or less as advised by your doctor. Having trouble comprehending this?
