Pure water is essential to optimal health.
Water is used by the body for every chemical or metabolic function it performs to maintain life. Life cannot continue without water. Approximately 2 ½ quarts of water are lost from the body daily. The same amount is normally taken in.
Sources of Water
• Food Consumed - Real foods (raw fruits and vegetables) are 75-90% water.
• Oxidation of Food - Water is a byproduct of digestion and energy production.
• Fluid Intake - Direct intake of fluids.•
