Water is the most vital substance we consume. Humans can go 45+ days without food, but only 3 or 4 days without water. We all know this and yet less that 20% of us drink enough daily.

Water is important for every bodily function from cell growth to making sure every function works properly. In terms of our heart and circulatory system, having enough water makes everything work smoothly.

When you consume enough, it will lower your heart rate and blood pressure and keep your joints well lubricated too. Ideally you need to drink 6 to 8 8 oz glasses of water every day. Yes this can be difficult. What I do is have a water bottle with me all the time and sip every time I remember. I have grown used to it and get the needed amount nearly every day. Also, if you find yourself eating salty foods (yes you should stay away from them, but life happens), drink lots of water and it will dilute the effects on the body.

By the way, you should drink clear water in these amounts, not soda or tea even. I do however recommend you consider adding things to your water. One is lemon. Some believe that raising the ph level of water before you drink it, creating an environment in your body that will not allow the growth of cancer and other really bad things.

Many people say you can drink too much water but this is something to never worry about because the amount you have to drink is more than most people can ever drink. So drink it every day and all day and you will become healthier.
