 | Water is the most common substance on Earth. It is also the nutrient needed
by the human body. Between 55 %and 75% of adult body weight is water (about
10-12 gallons). It is critical in regulating body temperature and organ
functions as well as dissolving solids and moving nutrients throughout the body.

| Research has shown proper hydration may help alleviate chronic pain caused by
rheumatoid arthritis, lower back strain, migraines and colitis. It can also
help to lower cholesterol and blood pressure. Water is naturally low in
sodium, has no fat, cholesterol or caffeine and isn’t flushed straight through
the body, as are most other beverages. |
