Water is vital to our body processes
Our blood consists mostly of water that contains blood cells, fats and proteins floating inside it. If you spin down your blood, about half spins out as liquid serum, which is mostly water and the rest are blood cells that contain water inside of them. Water is necessary for vital chemical reactions and enzymatic functions inside our cells. We need water to carry our waste products—both our stool and urine—from our cells to the outside of our body. Water is also part of our saliva, spinal fluid and the moisture surrounding our intestines and other abdominal organs.
For new mothers, water not only makes up part of the amniotic fluid surrounding the baby; water is a large portion of what makes up breast milk.
Without water, we simply could not exist. Without safe, healthy water, we may be doing more harm to ourselves than good. This is why taking a good look at the water you drink, and using a quality water filter like the aquasana aq 4000 is a necessary health step you need to take in order to function at your best and to keep your family from ingesting impurities found in water.
