Getting More from Your Water

Drinking lots of water during the hot summer months comes naturally, but here are the main reasons why it's important to take in plenty of water all year long.

1. Water is necessary for digestion, absorption, circulation, and excretory functions.
2. Water transports nutrients and waste products in and out of our cells.
3. Water helps us maintain proper body temperature.
4. Water keeps kidneys healthy and prevents kidney stones.
5. For women, drinking water can help stop fluid retention by flushing sodium from the body.
6. You need water especially if you drink coffee or tea since caffeine causes fluid loss.

What happens without enough water?

Not having enough water in your body can make you think you are hungry when you are really just dehydrated.

More important for your health, not enough water can cause headaches, constipation, dry skin and even increases the risk of a heart attack and bladder cancer.

Adults need 6 to 8 glasses of water daily. Children should drink at least 4 to 6 glasses.

Water and Lemon - A Healthy Combination

Unlike fruit juice, water won't contribute to weight problems or tooth decay.

And lemon in water helps create an alkaline homeostatic environment that medical professionals say is healthy for the body. (Alkalinity is stimulated by acidic foods, and prevents an acidic environment that can lead to disease.)
