What Makes Water So Good ?

Hi all,

I can remember way back to 1991, when I first started drinking water seriously and not just adding it to my COFFEE.

This was before the "Pump" bottle was invented, I was using a 2L plastic beer container at the time and refilling it regularly with the water from my home and chilling the night before to take into the office the next day.

Combined with exercise I lost a enormous amount of weight. At the time I noticed that I didn't need that coffee to get started in the morning it was just amazing.

What life stories do you have in regards to water ?

I used to drink a lot of diet pepsi and gatorade and felt tired and slow. My sugar readings were just below the red zone. Recently I started drinking nothing but water, and after a blood test, the numbers are normal. As a matter of fact, all the numbers have fallen into the normal range.

Water is good for absorbing vitamins and minerals; water is good for flushing out the kidneys.

Water aids absorption of vitamins and minerals and flushes the system keeping us regular.

Can the same be said about coffee. We have a huge coffee culture in my country. All that coffee can't be healthy or can it.

Any opinions?

Much of our bodies are made up of water. A good rule of thumb is that we should be drinking about half our body weight of water in ounces...so if you weigh 140 lbs, you should get AT LEAST 70 oz. of water in your body each day. If you are active, you need much more than that.
As mentioned in the other post, it flushes out your system and gets rid of impurities in the body, but also helps to keep you feeling full throughout the day - helping to maintain a healthy body weight so we don't make bad snack choices.
You can't go wrong drinking water....but it should be filtered drinking water. Water from your tap contains many chemicals that are bad for your body. It's important to invest in a good filter for you water faucet where you primarily drink from to get the water back to it's more natural state.
Hope that is helpful....
