Water & Your Skin
Water makes up to 98 percent of our body, and without this
life-giving fluid, you and I would not survive. The human body
can survive for up to three weeks on water alone. Try surviving
without the water and you might make it four to five days. It's
a truly amazing and health sustaining fluid, and it is just
water!
What really do we get from water, that our body must have, and
can't live without? It's the benefit of the fluidity of water,
and what it does for our bodies that is the most important part.
All of our bodily functions rely on the cells in our
bloodstream to supply them the nutrients and minerals that they
need to carry out those vital functions. How do our cells
achieve that end? They absorb the vitamins, minerals, and
nutrients we take in during our digestive process. What
other benefits can water provide, other than the obvious ones of
adding fluid to our bodies?
Water helps keep our skin healthy and glowing. It helps in
the reduction of wrinkling, and aids in our ability to flush
fat, toxins, and any other unwanted or foreign substance from
our bodies.
Flushing our intestines with plenty of water allows us to
maintain stable and safe quantities of yeast and bacteria.
Plenty of water keeps our thought processes and brain function
at optimal levels, and prevents headaches that are caused from
not enough hydration. It's pretty amazing what that one little
glass of water can do! |
