Water
This
is the most vital nutrient, we are about 70% water, the IVD
(Intervertebral disc) is 90% H2O.Water
is the largest single component of the body.
We need
to drink 8 – 10 ten ounce glasses per day (2L bottle size) or half your body weight in ounces per day so 100 pounds= 50 ounces per day.
Muscles
and viscera (organs) have the highest concentration of water, calcified areas
(bones) have the lowest concentration.
Water
is needed for:
- cell function and structure
- medium for all reactions
- digestion
- secretion
- circulation, transports nutrients
- maintains body temperature
AND MUCH MORE
