Water is Essential

Our bodies are made up of 32 to 42 quarts of water.

Fluids such as soda, coffee, or alcohol tend to dehydrate the body. When we drink these, we compromise our systems which need good fluids to do their jobs efficiently.

For example, the lymphatic carries white blood cells that fight disease and germs that get into the body. It cannot do its job properly if it is robbed of much-needed fluids.

We need to consume at least 64 ounces of water per day to keep our systems operating at peak performance.
