Water, water, everywhere, nor any drop to drink…Those famous words, written over 250 years ago, convey some idea of the importance of good old H20 to us humans. Water is life, truly, and when we are healthy, but especially when we are sick, our bodies need water more than they need food, sleep, or exercise.
An important component of just about every function that takes place within us, water is the major part of our saliva, stool, and urine and it also cushions and lubricates brain and joint tissue. It transports nutrients and carries waste away from body cells, and it helps regulate body temperature by distributing heat and cooling the body through perspiration (blood is 83 percent water, muscles are 76 percent water and even 22 percent of bones is water!).
Under average circumstances the body loses and needs to replace approximately 2 to 3 quarts of water daily. Breathing, urinating, defecating, perspiring and sneezing all cause water loss, water that needs to be replaced on a daily basis. Luckily, many of the foods we eat, like us, are composed primarily of water (why do you think they call it watermelon?). Foods with particularly high water content include most fruits, greens, and most vegetables.
DID YOU KNOW -
One of the most talked about contaminants in our drinking water is chlorine, a necessary disinfectant used to kill harmful, disease-causing bacteria. Unfortunately, chlorine combines easily with other chemicals and naturally occurring organic material to form many carcinogenic substances. Chlorine has also been linked to heart attacks, strokes, premature senility and sexual impotency. When you think about it, the purpose of chlorine is to kill living organisms; as far as I know we are all living organisms! Even in small amounts, taken daily this poison builds up in our systems and causes harm.Why ISWATER?

Top Tips for Increasing Your Fluid Intake
1) Have a glass of water or juice on arising in the morning, since you've had no fluids for many hours.2) Drink constantly throughout the day rather than several 'big gulps' at once—this meets your body's needs better and may prevent the problem of frequent urination.
3) If you have problems with constipation, it could be because you don't drink enough water—our bodies need water to balance the fiber intake that comes from fruits, vegetables, and grains.
4) Fluids are more easily absorbed from the body when they are somewhat cooler, about 40-60 degrees. Keep a 1 or 2 quart bottle of water in your refrigerator and make sure you need drink and refill it daily.
5) When you pass a drinking fountain, stop for a refreshing drink.
6) Use the color of your urine as a guide for how well your are hydrating. If you urinate regularly and your urine is light yellow, you're drinking enough. If it's dark yellow, increase your fluid intake.
7) Carry a water bottle with you and drink regularly between meals.
8) Allergy sufferers and persons taking any medication should try to attain the fluid goals outlined above. Our kidneys and liver need extra water to process medicines.
Water, water, everywhere. Make it part or your daily routine for good health.
