 The Importance of Drinking Water

Water is the second most important component of life, after oxygen. More than two-thirds of the body is made up of water. The brain is made up of nearly 85 percent water and solid tissue (like muscle) is made up of about 70 percent water.

Water is crucial in moving metabolic wastes through the body. It reduces the burden on the lungs, kidneys and liver. In fact, it is a universal solvent, which is capable of dissolving and carrying nearly any kind of substance.

  > Works to keep muscles and skin toned.

> Eliminates toxins & waste from the body.
