Why does your body love water?

Kinesiology Testing can test water dehydration in the body.  Massage is great, but water is the basis of all good health.

Many clients of mine seem to battle to drink enough water.   Why is it so important to keep drinking?

What does water actually do inside your body?

  1. Water flushes out toxins and helps move waste
  2. Water helps maintain body termperature, cooling you down
  3. Water makes up a lot of the blood and carries oxygen to your cells
  4. Water helps to maintain healthy weight levels

Try to drink up 8-10 glasses of water a day.  More if you do exercise, or are feverish.  Urinary tract or bladder problems are often noticeable if you do not drink enough.  If you feel hungry it is often a sign that you need water, not food.  So drink water first.

I always make sure my children drink a glass of water before breakfast.  Personally, I try to start the day with one pint or warm water, that is easy to drink.  Then I know I am off to a good start.

Increase your water uptake with watery fruits

How to up your intake:

Always have a water bottle

Add lemon or lime to give flavour, bottled flavour water does not count

Eat water rich fruits like cumcumber, and watermelon.

What do you do to keep up your water intake?  Any tips are welcome……

    Really useful information. I find if I don’t drink enough water during the day I get really lethargic – water keeps me going! Thanks for confirming this!
