Living Life Abundantly

Are you aware that around 70% of the human body is made up of water? It should be evident then that the kind of water we are drinking is highly important. For our body to be at ideal health, we need to be consuming the most beneficial water possible.

Consider these mind-boggling facts and statistics:

* 75% of Americans are regularly dehydrated.

* 37% of North Americans have stifled their thirst mechanism to the point that it is often mistaken for hunger.

* Even mild dehydration can slow down the metabolic rate by as much as 3%.

* A University of Washington study, found that nearly all participating dieters were able to deter their midnight hunger pangs by just drinking a glass of water.

* The No. 1 trigger of daytime fatigue is deficiency in water.

* Preliminary research has revealed that drinking 8-10 glasses of water each day could improve back and joint pain for up to 80% of suffers.

* A simple 2% drop in body water can negatively impact short-term memory and the ability to concentrate.

* Drinking five glasses of water per day can minimize the risk of breast cancer by as much as 79%, bladder cancer by 50%, colon cancer by 45%, and deadly heart attack by 41%.

Now that you know just how important water is to the body, you can begin to comprehend how crucial it is to be drinking the right kind of water. Here are some terrible choices you can make:

* City water – It’s often full of chlorine and other unhealthy chemicals.

* Well water – It can sometimes be ruined by run-off and pesticides.

* Bottled water – Even this can be unhealthy because of high acidity.

1. Brain. Brain cells that have a healthy amount of drinking water have the ability to put out fresh, oxygen-laden blood more readily. The brain stays fresh and alert. Even a modest drop in drinking water levels can force your brain’s performance level to drop as much as 20 to 30 percent!

2. Muscles. Muscle cells with a good supply of drinking water are able to work longer without wearying. Water offers a continuing supply of oxygen to muscles. If you are doing exercises in warm weather, your muscles will call for more drinking water every 15 minutes to continue being strong.

3. Cooling system. Your body’s temperature is managed through drinking water. The water oversees body temperature through sweat. To maintain a average temperature of 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit on hot days, or when exercising, the body sweats. Sweat cools the body, but sweat uses up water. We have to have a lot of drinking water to restore the supply.

4. Nerves. Nerve cells emit messages to and from the brain. To make this happen, they have got to use electrolytes. Drinking water is a vital way to maintain electrolytes at the right level to ensure the nerves can perform their work.

5. Stomach and Intestinal Tract. Our bodies make use of drinking water to digest nourishment in the gastrointestinal tract. Too little drinking water will slow the process, ending up in constipation and other medical issues.

6. Eye and Mouth Safeguards. Water makes your eyes and mouth moist. It washes dirt and dust right from your eyes.

7. Joints. Drinking water is like oiling your body’s joints. Water lubricates the joints, keeping them versatile, and ensuring seamless motion.

Using the process of electrolysis, the Kangen Water System restructures harmful acidic tap water and transforms it into alkaline water that is perfect for drinking and balancing your body’s pH level.

As public awareness grows about lead in toys and precautions are being taken to reduce exposure to lead… the same effort is needed as it relates to water.

If you live in a home with running water, your water most likely contains lead. How much lead? I don’t know but there are ways to test, filter, and significantly reduce the amount of lead in your water (which we’ll get to later).

A few years back an artists wrote a compelling song about water. It wasn’t one of those songs you hear on the radio…at least it never made rotation on any of the stations I listened too.

The recent oil spill in San Francisco made me think about the song because there’s a line in it in which the artist says:

Used to be free now it cost you a fee
Cause oil tankers spill they load as they roam cross the sea

Today I had to play the song a few times (its always been a favorite you can listen to it by clicking on the video below) but now I’m feeling the lyrics even more.

We just paid our water bill the other day and today I find myself pondering what exactly are we paying for? What the hell is in that water that we get the pleasure of paying for every month?

What am I paying for when I buy a bottle of Aquafina and whats the difference between what comes out of my sink or shower head and bottled water?

For as long as I can remember my grandmother has always boiled her water. It didn’t really make sense to me as a kid but I certainly get it now! Am I just a housewife with too much time on her hands?
