1.
Water: Your Best Weight Loss Friend
Water is one of the key components to a healthy diet and a long-term weightloss undertaking. It not only nourishes your body by keeping your cellshydrated, but it fills your stomach so that you are less hungry.
2. 8 Glasses a Day:
Just about everyone has heard that it is important to consume at least 8glasses of water a day as part of a well-balanced diet. The 8 glasses of waterwill help to hydrate your body and leave your skin feeling moist and supple.What’s more: it is important to understand exactly what those 8 glasses of water are doing to your body.As the water enters into your system, it hydrates your cells. Not only will youfeel more energized, but it will help to keep your cells strong against illness,headaches and fatigue. Imagine that the body’s cells are a plant. Withoutwater, the plant will wilt and be less strong against daily elements. However,with the proper amount of water and care, the plant will be strong andhealthy. Water relieves the body of harmful toxins, such as those that arecaused by illness and stress. By infusing hydration into your system, yourbody pumps out unwanted chemicals that will slow you down and make yourbody function less healthily. 8 glasses of water is the minimum if you wish toretain a properly functioning machine.

. How Does The Human Body Use Drinking Water?
Every cell in the human body requires water. Put them altogether, with theirload of water, and your body weight is almost two-thirds water. If you weigh68 kg, about 45 kg of that is water. You are mostly water, but how does yourbody use drinking water? Cells use drinking water as a delivery service. Eachcell is separated from its environment by a cell membrane. To do its work,the cell needs to import nutrients and export waste products. Water is thedelivery service, bringing in nutrients and taking out waste. Whether youlook at red and white blood cells, muscle cells, or nerve cells, they all needwater. Without water, most of your cells would get clogged with waste, andstarve to death for lack of nutrients. Healthy cells, with plenty of drinkingwater, are kept clean and nourished. Like the clean engine of a brand newautomobile, fed a perfect blend of quality gasoline (petrol), healthy cells cando exactly what they were designed to do: keep the human body hummingalong life’s journey
3. Fruit Equivalent:
Many people get their water from fruits, such as apples, watermelons andberries. One piece of fruit, depending on the size, can count for as much ashalf of a glass of water. The added benefit of fruit is that in addition tohelping to hydrate you, fruit can add healthy amounts of vitamins andminerals to your core diet. Fruit also fills the stomach and energizes you.Because fruit contains very few calories, it is a good food to fill up on.
 
However, fruit does contain fructose, which is a type of sugar. Fructose willspike the level of sugar in your blood stream, which will give you energy. Yet,if that energy is not consumed readily, the fructose will turn to fat (if only asmall amount of it.)
4. Dehydrators:
There are beverages and activities that dehydrate your body quickly so thatyour essential amount of water intake needs to be increased. Beverages thatdeplete water from your body include sodas, coffee, tea and alcohol. In orderto ensure that you stay properly hydrated, drink one glass of water for everyglass of soda or other dehydrating beverage. Also, for every half-hour of sweat-inducing exercise, you should drink at least one cup of water. If youare exercising in a particularly humid environment, you may have to drinkmore water in order to avoid headaches, illness and overall dehydration.Water truly can aid your weight-loss process if you are diligent aboutconsuming generous portions of it. Many people find that carrying a waterbottle with them everywhere they go is the best way to remain tempted totreat your body right.
5. Nine Reasons Why We Need to Clean Water:
a)
Clean water is vital to the human body:
The human body is 50 to 70per cent water, and needs a regular supply of clean water to maintain health.We need clean drinking water. We need clean water for cooking and makingbeverages. Healthy eating and clean water go hand in hand.b)
Clean water is vital to our food:
If we fail to clean water and keep itclean, we will be shut up to a diet of contaminated food. Not only fish, butother meats, fruits, and vegetables will deliver contamination to us.c)
Clean water is vital to human health
: Clean drinking water is vital tohealth, yet the UN and the World Health Organization (WHO) report that 1.1billion people around the globe lack access to clean drinking water. Thehealth consequences are devastating. The UN attributes 2.2 million deathsannually to poor water and sanitation. If we clean water, provide bettersanitation, and teach people how to keep water clean, future generations canenjoy longer and healthier lives.d)
Clean water is essential for fish and other wildlife species:
Ashumans, we must consider the needs of fish, whales, water fowl, and otherwildlife species that live in water. We must clean water when there are oilspills, of course, but we must also work to clean water flowing into ouroceans, lakes, rivers, and streams. We must clean water for wildlife that doesnot live in the water, but depends on clean water for health and cleanliness.e)
We need to clean water to cut down on our carbon footprint:
Theemissions involved in producing bottled water are astounding. Pablo Päster,Sustainability Engineer and MBA, did a thorough and exhaustive study of thecost of bringing a single liter of Fiji Water to America. He found that bottlersuse nearly seven times as much water to bottle it than you actually drink.The total amount of water used to produce and deliver one bottle of importedwater is 6.74 kg! In the process of making the bottle, getting water into thebottle, and delivering it to you, 250g of GHG emissions were released.
 
f)
We need to clean water to cut down on refuse
: Each plasticdrinking-water bottle takes hundreds of years to biodegrade in a landfill.Many plastic drinking-water bottles litter the countryside. Some will berecycled, but the recycling process is said to pollute the environment withtoxic carcinogens. If we clean water so that it is truly free of contaminants,additives, bacteria, and virus, people are less likely to rely on bottled water.g)
Clean rain and snow are not givens:
Rain is just one step in thewater cycle. Pure rain does not automatically fall through the universe,filtered by the atmosphere and delivered from pure clouds. Neither does puresnow. The rain, snow, and other precipitation we receive find their way intothe sky from bodies of water on earth. If we fail to clean water on earth, wewill have increasingly polluted precipitation. Polluted precipitation is harmfulto everyone and everything on which it falls.h)
We need clean water for all-around cleanliness
: Whether it’s yourlaundry in the washing machine, your carpet beneath the cleaning machineor your body under the shower, clean water is necessary for all-aroundcleanliness. From early preschool years onward, children are taught properhygiene – and it depends on clean water. j)
The consequences of inadequate access to clean water are toogreat:
Many have expressed growing concern that water wars are more likelyin the future than current battles for oil. Where access to clean water is thevery essence of life, “no water” may mean “no peace.” A failure to cleanwater now may result in global warfare for future generations. You may beable to add more reasons. You may substitute different reasons, but thebottom line is still the same. We need to clean water. It is wiser, and lesscostly, to keep water clean than to try to clean water that has become dirtyand polluted. Will we develop such wisdom for the remaining clean water wehave?
6)
Water (lacks of / polluted) as major cause of death:
a) More than 35,000 people die each day throughout the world fromdisease caused by impure or lack of drinking water. That equals more than12,000,000 per year or more than the per year total killed in each of the sixyears of World War II.b) The absence of clean drinking water and sanitation is one of thelargest causes of death and loss of productivity throughout the world.c). Three to four of every five children related deaths are directlyrelated to unsanitary or contaminated drinking water

7. Consider just 8 of the many benefits of drinking a lot of water:
a)
Brain:
Brain cells that have plenty of drinking water are able tocirculate fresh, oxygen-laden blood more readily. The brain remains fresh andalert. Even a small drop in drinking water levels can make your brain’sperformance level drop as much as 20 to 30 percent!b)
Muscles:
Muscle cells with a ready supply of drinking water are ableto work longer without tiring. Water delivers a continuing supply of oxygen to
