Body needs PLENTY of water

You've heard the cliche that our body is made up of around 80% water; indeed we need lots and lots of water to maintain the stability of our body systems.

Water is the second most important element for our health; with the first being Oxygen. An adult can survive for several weeks without food but they can survive no more than 10 days without water, and no more than few minutes without oxygen!

Water is needed in our body for many many purposes such as carrier of nutrients to all body parts, maintaining body temperature, plays a crucial role in digestion, blood circulation, and still whole lot others.

Ideally, we should never go more than 15 - 20 minutes without consuming water.

For OPTIMUM health, experts recommend that each day, we should drink half our our body weight in ounces. So for a 200 pounds man, he should be drinking 100 ounces of water a day. -(Pure water has a density of 1kg / L)-

Signs that you have been Dehydrated

Our body tells us in many ways if they need water, but from all those the last sign is you feeling thirsty!

If you are thirsty, it means that your cells are already dehydrated for a while..

You can see a dehydrated body from its urine. Severely dehydrated body produces orange or dark color urine.

A somewhat dehydrated body produces yellow urine, while a carefully hydrated body produces colorless urine.

Some side effects of dehydration include stress, headaches, back pain, allergies, weight gain, asthma, high blood pressure, and Alsheimer's disease.

A two-time Nobel Prize winner Dr. Alexis Carrel proved that a cell can actually live forever IF:

1. They are exposed to enough OXYGEN

2. They receive enough WATER

3. Their WASTE is eliminated properly

So DRINK PLENTY! Water is integral to our body. Keeping our water intake adequate is very important to our well-being.

Remember, if you feeling thirsty, that means your body has already been dehydrated for a while..
