Why do I need to drink water?
Our bodies do 2 main things:
1. It makes energy
2. It detoxifies.
The Healthy cell is doing both, the unhealthy cell is having a hard time doing both
Water is essential for the life and function of every cell.
It has an excellent ability to dissolve many substances which allows the cells to utilise valuable nutrients, minerals, and chemicals in biological processes.
Water:
Regulates internal body temperature through improved homeostasis and heat dissipation
Assists the flushing of waste through urination to rid the body of toxins
Acts as a shock absorber for the brain, preventing damage or injury through head impact & collisions
Helps lubricate our joints for improved movement and function
