Water & You

Essential for Healthy Living

Water makes up over 70% of our bodies and is essential for our good health and well-being. Blood is 87% water, and our muscles, lungs, and brain also contain a lot of water. Water is required to regulate the body temperature and to provide the means for nutrients to travel to all our organs. Water also transports oxygen to our cells, removes waste, and protects our joints and organs.

Grab that Bottle of Water

One of the most underestimated aspects of ones good health and well being is drinking enough water. Most people drink water when they feel thirsty, which more often than not, means our bodies are greatly de-hydrated and are letting us know that we need water now. Should you water your plants when they wither and look thirsty?

Two thirds of our body weight is made of water, and the average human needs about 2 litres of water per day, more if exercising or in hot weather. Drinking water helps not only clean our internal systems, but keep us feeling young and energetic. So if you haven't got that bottle of water on your desk as you're reading this, I suggest now is a good time to start.

In addition, water is the Most Under-Rated Aspect of Weight Loss. Water is a natural appetite suppressant. Do NOT underestimate the power of this statement. Lack of water can lead to over eating. You brain does not differentiate between hunger and thirst. So, when you think you are feeling hungry, your body may in fact be signaling to you that you are thirsty! If you are not consuming enough water each day and you feel hunger pains, chances are, your body really is crying out for water. In many instances people will find what they thought were hunger pangs were in fact, satisfied by water. Try it! You have nothing to lose, except some weight. To further add all Caffeinated drinks cause the body to lose water. They are what's known as diuretics as they cause your body to dehydrate. You will do your body an enormous favour by cutting back. For every cup of coffee you drink you will need to drink another TWO glasses of water to counter the diuretic effect.

Better than the alternatives

It's a sad fact that tap water does contain some chemicals, pollutants, bacteria and other contaminants. These elements not only affect the taste of the water, but they also reduce the water's natural health benefits. In regards to filters, they start with tap water, not natural spring water. They only filter down to a 1 or 5 micron level, they don't eliminate all the bacteria, they're expensive to buy, and they require regular cleaning and maintenance.

Why should I buy water when I'm happy with tap water?

Ten years ago, hardly anyone bought tap water. Today you can buy it in virtually every supermarket and convenience store in the country. Sales of bottled water are the fastest growing of any beverage in Australia.

So why has bottle water become so popular?

Well, the first thing people notice when they switch from tap water to bottled water is the improved taste and the clarity of the water. Indeed, once they start drinking bottled water on a regular basis, they rarely ever go back to tap water.

Bottled water is free of all the factors that people don't like about tap water, such as bad tastes and odours. Plus it's freeif all the things you can't detect that can be very harmful - like bacteria and chemicals. In fact, up to 50 chemicals may be added to tap water in order to "purifiy" it.
