What About What You Drink?
Have you ever heard someone say “You are what you eat.” Well what about what you drink?
With so many new energy drinks, wellness drinks, some new juice promising to be the fountain of youth. Do you really know what you’re putting in your body?
It’s so easy to be overwhelmed with all the different marketing ads peddling and pushing the latest drink products that sometimes, it’s just best to get back to the basics.
If you were to look at a world map or globe, you would be able to quickly identify that our world consists of mostly water. To be more precise, the worlds surface is consumed by more than 70%.
That’s for a reason. Water itself is the basis for all life on this world INCLUDING you body. Our bodies need to be able to replenish the water it uses on a daily basis. As Adam Sandler in the “Water Boy” would say, “We need some high quality H2O.”
Simply put it this way if you’re feeling a bit sluggish or suddenly feel a craving for something to drink, that may be your body telling you that its water supply is low. Grab yourself a tall glass of water, enjoy it and see how you feel.
Resist the urge to grab your favorite fountain drinks and carbonated drinks.
Here are some facts:
Your muscles are 75% water
Your lungs are 90% water
Your bones are 25% water.
Your blood that transport nutrients is 82% water
Your brain that is the nerve center of your body is 76% water
As Baby Boomers, our health is not only dependent on quality of food that we eat, but also on the quantity of the water we drink. Make drinking enough natural water a habit in your life and in a short period of time you will begin to notice the benefits of it. I don’t think that any of us need some big marketing companies’ ad to tell us the importance of drinking water since it should be natural for us to do.
