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.

Health benefits of proper hydration

• Water helps remove toxins that lead to inflammation.
• Water increases the immune system and helps prevent  movement system disorders.
• Water increases the lubrication of joints and helps prevent arthritis and back pain.
• Water gives your muscles an energy boost.
• Water helps to prevent heart disease and stroke by helping to prevent blockage of arteries.
• Water enhances brain function and helps prevent memory loss.
• Water improves skin health and outside appearance.

Q:How much water does our body need?

A:Last time we came in all shapes and sizes, so to determine how much water your body needs, you can take your body weight and divide that number by 2.

That’s how many ounces of water you need every day!
