Not thirsty? Time to drink Water!
By Dr. Joey Shulman D.C., RNCP
The human body is comprised of about 70% water. Next to air, water is the most vital substance our systems need to function properly. Water is involved in every aspect of the bodys functions, including digestion and excretion and absorption of vital nutrients. It is responsible for maintaining normal temperature, a normal acid/alkali environment and carrying waste material from the body. The human body can survive for five weeks without food, but only five days without water.
Many of us no longer experience the urge to drink, making water consumption feel like a chore. If you no longer get thirsty, this is the most important time to hydrate. A lack of the thirst sensation is an indication that the body has adapted to its state of dehydration and no longer tells the brain to trigger the thirst signal. Once you begin to hydrate yourself with water on a daily basis, you will find your thirst sensation is quickly restored and drinking water will become part of your normal routine. Make sure you have a water dispenser for your office, home, and anywhere else.

What type and how much?
With the bottled water industry doing brisk business, many consumers are confused about which is the best type of water to purchase. To avoid impurities such as e.coli, coliform, lead, copper and excess chlorine, reverse osmosis is the best quality water available. Steam and distilled water sources are also excellent choices. Carbon filters that attach to your sink or filtered water containers offer moderate protection against larger impurities but allow smaller microbes to squeak through.
To ensure you are properly hydrated, it is recommended you drink six to eight glasses of water per day.
