Water is Wonderful

Water maintains healthy hydration,  reduces fatigue and muscle weakness, lubricates our body, supports exercise endurance and stimulates mental responses, as well as maintaining adequate thermoregulation.

Concentration and cognitive status improves with water intake; our brain is 85% water, water stimulates responses and cognition, improves vision fields and activates our senses. Additionally it prevents constipation, helps flush out toxins, cleans your kidneys and refreshes the condition of your skin. Water is a fundamental element for human metabolism.

Psychological and emotional wellbeing can be helped by WATER too.   Emotional stress, depression and anger can result in tears, headaches, digestive problems and skin irritation, tiredness and lethargy, poor health and low immunity. Proper hydration with balance diet and exercise stimulates your Parasympathetic Nervous System leading to Peace and Calm.
