I don't drink water!

I don't like water so I don't drink it. Have you ever heard anyone of your friends or family members say that? Have you ever said that? I guess some people just don't like the taste. Many find it hard to drink so they just don't drink it at all. Some people rather drink sport drinks, soda, beer, wine, milk or juice. Even though some juices can be good for you (especially when home made) nothing can replace water. As humans our bodies make up about 50-75 percent of water. According to MAYOCLINIC.ORG we loose a percentage of our bodies water through exercise, environment, illnesses/health conditions, and pregnancies/breast feeding. So we defintely need to replace what we loose.

What are the great benefits of drinking water? There are so many but I will only name just a few. KIDNEY FUNCTION. Our kidneys process 200 quarts of blood daily, the kidneys filter out waste and then it takes our urine to the bladder. Yet, kidneys need enough fluids to clear away what we don’t need in the body. Water gives our bodies a GREAT WASTE FLUSH!

MUSCLE FUEL. Sweating is a normal bodily function. Our bodies are sweating even when we do not know it. Sometimes that sweat is magnified by the activities that we may do, even exercising. Sweating causes our muscles to lose water. When we don’t have enough water, our muscles get tired, and we may feel weak. So for extra energy, we need to try drinking water.

FLUID BALANCE/HYDRATION. When we drink enough water, our bodies fluids are stable, this helps to transport nutrients to the body which helps to regulate body temperature, digest food, and so much more.

Whether the water is bottled, filtered or heated, drinking water is an excellent idea and it shows wisdom. It plays a very essential part of good heath. I know I NEED to drink more water.
