Preventing Dehydration

H2O Basics:
Water plays a vital role in all cellular activities, transporting essential vitamins and minerals at the cell level throughout the body. If your body becomes dehydrated, the capability of your transport system is compromised, and you will lose strength and energy. Lack of water can cause metabolic waste and by-products like lactic acid, uric acid, ammonia and other toxins to accumulate in our soft tissues. You don’t want your soft tissues to accumulate with these toxins. Drinking adequate amounts of water throughout the day will ensure that all this junk is properly flushed out.
