The Importance of Pure Water

Note that the body is 72% water.  Water is the most abundant nutrient found in the human body.  The average person holds about 44 quarts of water in his body.  He takes in and loses about 3 quarts a day.  Water is continually being lost through the kidneys, bowels, lungs and skin; And water must be continually replenished.  Replenishment takes place 3 ways: through the fluids we drink, through the foods we eat, and through the body's own internal oxidation processes at the cellular level where the hydrogen in the nutrients assimilated is combined with the inhaled oxygen.

Because water is such a widely used nutrient in the body, the quality of the water we take in is all-important.  Water is the body's transport medium for nutrients and waste.  Water is the medium that keeps all the issues soft and permeable.  Water serves to regulate body temperature.  Water holds all the mineral electrolytes in solution. Water is the medium for all cellular reproduction.  In the bodily, watery medium is where all the biochemical, neurophysiological, musculoskeletal process for optimum health take place. 

Because water is so important to the proper functioning of all systems of the body, we want to provide our bodies with the very most ideal conditions possible for these processes to take place normally - by drinking only pure filtered and then distilled water when we do drink.
