Make 2011 the year to drink more… water, that is.

Our bodies need at least 6 to 8 glasses of water daily to help flush out toxins.

By drinking water regularly you could enjoy the benefits of improved digestion, a stronger immune system, a more alkaline environment within the body with less inflammatory conditions, a healthy nervous system with increased mental function and longevity.

Water is involved in almost every bodily function and is an essential nutrient as life cannot exist without it. Water assists in nutrient transportation, digestion and absorption and the elimination of waste products. Water also carries electrolytes, which are mineral salts that help convey electrical currents in the body.
Water maintains and regulates body temperature, blood volume and blood pressure.

FACT ~ Did you know that dehydration is a common cause of elimination ailments such as chronic constipation, urinary tract infections, haemorrhoids and even degenerative diseases like arthritis.

Common signs of dehydration are headaches, dizziness, fatigue, dry skin, dull back pain and swollen hands and feet.

So this summer, drink up!
