 The human body is some kind of a water machine‚ intended originally to run on water and minerals. Every life giving and healing process that happens inside our body happens with water. Recently medical science has begun to pay more attention to the stupendous healing ability our body has and how much that ability is up to water. As a matter of fact, human body intuitively knows how and tries to maintain longevity‚ and in its every effort water is the key.
The human body is made up of over 70% water. Our blood is made of more than 80%‚ our brain is over 75%‚ and our liver is about 96% of water.
The work of every cell in human body is regulated by electrical signals sent from the brain through our nervous system. Our nerves‚ in actual fact‚ are an elaborated system of very small waterways. The electrical signals can be damaged by dehydration‚ or tainted with synthetic chemicals or toxic heavy metals. Many scientists now think that the distortion of these signals may be the main cause of lots diseases and neurological sicknesses such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome‚ Attention Deficit Disorder‚ depression, anxiety and even Alzheimer‘s disease.
According to the considerable role of water, its purity is probable the most essential key to healthy longevity. Proper digestion and nutrient absorption depend on a healthy consuming of water. If we want to get the nutritional value from our foods and supplements‚ we must consume plenty of pure water.
 The amount of water we drink affects our energy level greatly. It has been proved that just a 5% decrease of water in body will cause a 25% to 30% loss of energy in person on average, and 15% decrease of water in body causes death. Our liver uses water to metabolize fat into useable energy. Researchers estimated that more than 80% of our population suffers from energy loss associated with light dehydration. You can improve metabolism by consuming more water.
It is both important the quality and the amount of the water we drink. Water that contains chlorine and other chemicals has less of an ability to carry toxins out of our body. The consuming of water that contains traces of synthetic chemicals affects our liver and kidneys, which filter it.
How Much Water Should We Drink?
Although two and a half liters of fluid per day is what an adult needs to maintain their metabolism working properly, it's not usually necessary to drink this much. This is because much of our daily fluid needs are met by the water found in food.
