Our body depends on water to survive; every cell, tissue and organ in our body needs water to work properly. Our body uses water to maintain its temperature, remove waste and lubricate our joints.
We should drink water every day. Most people have been told they should drink 6 to 8 glasses of water each day. That is a reasonable goal. However, different people need different amounts of water to stay hydrated. Most healthy people can stay well hydrated by drinking water and other fluids whenever they feel thirsty. For some people, fewer than 8 glasses may be enough. Other people may need more than 8 glasses each day. If you are concerned that you are not drinking enough water, check your urine. If your urine is usually colorless or light yellow, you are well hydrated. If your urine is dark yellow or amber color, you may be dehydrated.
Signs of Dehydration:
- little or no urine
- urine that is darker than usual
- dry mouth
- sleepiness or fatigue
- extreme thirst
- dizziness or lightheadedness
- absence of tears when crying
Water can also be found in fruits and vegetables (e.g. watermelon, tomatoes and lettuce) and in soup broths.
Sports drinks and sodas are also sources of hydration but they add sugar to your diet and are also strongly acidic. Even most potable waters and bottled waters are also slightly acidic and does not contain healthy substances such as antioxidants.
Only Kangen Water 8.5, 9.0 or 9.5 can hydrate us the right and healthy way with its alkalinity - to neutralize the acidity in our body, and high antioxidant contents - to slow down the ageing process and repair damaged cells. Its micro-clustered molecules hydrates us faster by permeating to our body in the cellular level, and the trace minerals contained in the water are also absorbed.
Do not wait until you notice symptoms of dehydration to take action. Actively prevent dehydration by drinking plenty of Kangen water.
