FLUID
RETENTION
No
more puffiness around the eyes, or bloating. The
way to get
rid of fluid retention is actually by drinking more
water, not
less. The less water you drink, the more you will
store. Your
body attempts to protect itself against dehydration.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
By
drinking enough water, the body can more efficiently
control
its temperature. Without enough water, you can not
sweat as
much and you will have trouble maintaining normal
body
temperature, particularly during heavy activities,
such as aerobics
and other exercises. Water helps tone skin and improve
complexion.
GOOD CIRCULATION
Ninety
percent of our blood is water. Blood carries
nutrients to
our muscles so they can function. It also flushes
out waste
products. Without water, tissues would starve and
be poisoned
with waste.
EASY
BREATHING
Water continuously moistens our lungs. The rest
of our respiratory
tract is literally soaked in water. Without
water, we would stop
breathing.
EFFICIENT DIGESTION
It takes about a gallon of water a day just to
run our digestive
water works. Without water, we could not
digest our food.
