INFO ABOUT WATER IN THE BODY

CONSISTENT LACK OF HYDRATION CAUSES SICKNESS

Chronic Cellular Dehydration occurs when one consistently

meets less than their required water intake. When cells

throughout the body are continuously under hydrated they

are more vulnerable to disease and chemical imbalances.

WATER COMBATS CANCER

Consuming at least five glasses of water per day has been

found to reduce colon cancer by 45%, bladder cancer

by 50%, and breast cancer by 79%.

WATER KEEPS OUR BRAINS HEALTHY

Since 70% of our brains are made of water, drinking water

is essential for brain health. Drinking water can even

help relieve headaches.

WATER SPEEDS UP WEIGHT LOSS

German researchers have found that drinking water helps

speed up our metabolism. Besides helping us burn

more calories, drinking water also makes us feel more

full, leading us to take less on our plates come meal time.

REGULATES WASTE DISPOSAL

Our bodies remove toxins in three primary ways: urination,

defecation, and perspiration. Water is clearly important

while we sweat, but it also helps reduce constipation and

eliminates toxins more rapidly from the body so

they don’t cause harm.

CERTAIN DRINKS REQUIRE MORE WATER THAN

THEY BRING TO BE PROCESSED

When we drink alcohol or soft drinks, our bodies have to

use more water than is in the drinks to break them down.

Even if we drink eight cans of soda a day, we’ll likely be

making ourselves dehydrated. Make sure to

supplement any drinks with water.

WATER HELPS US FEEL MORE ENERGETIC

When the body is properly hydrated, oxygen levels in our

blood increase. Increased oxygen levels mean both more

efficient fat burning and higher energy levels.

OUR DIET AFFECTS HOW MUCH WATER WE NEED

When consuming a high protein or high fibre diet, our

bodies need even more water to break down or process

these tougher substances.
