Water works!!


Love this!! Saw a delivery lorry today off loading what we all couldn't do without!! But it did make me laugh too ..... There is actually a bottled water here in Australia which goes under this name 'Another Bloody Water'..... It then made me think about water and unearth some facts as follows :



Nearly 60% of your body weight is water. About 75% of your muscles are made of water.
Our bodies receive water three ways: from food, from drinking and from metabolism.
The old "8 glasses a day" is a fine standard... depending on what size glass you use! We need about 2.5 liters per day.
Drinking alcoholic beverages dehydrates your body.
Water may help suppress your appetite.
Drinking enough water helps many medical ailments: chronic fatigue, allergies, depression, digestive problems, and more.
Drinking enough water actually prevents water retention.
Water helps you improve your muscle tone.
I do try to drink the minimum recommended amount per day but sometimes it is difficult but I know for sure that I always feel better when I do....
What is your daily water intake - are you good? Or, do you hate drinking water?
