The Importance of Water and Hydration

The water molecule is one of the most versatile structures known to exist. Comprising of two atoms of hydrogen and one of oxygen (H2O) it is commonly referred to as the supporter of life itself. Within the human body, water is the most abundant molecule present making up approximately 75% of our being (approximately 50-60 litres).

Water is an amazing chemical compound that has a profound effect on your body’s overall physical, mental and cognitive performance. As humans, it is imperative that we maintain healthy levels of water in our system at all times. If we don’t drink enough water throughout the day we become susceptible to dehydration. This means that you have effectively lost more water from the cells that build muscle and maintain our bodies than you have consumed.

Providing our bodies with adequate hydration doesn’t just prevent us from feeling parched, it also lays the framework for essential processes that we often take for granted. Not only does water make up more than 85% of your brain, it also transports energy to your brain. Water also assists with the digestion of food, allows organs such as the liver and kidneys to break down toxins, fats and alcohol, and it assists in the protection of tissue and tendon material in the body.

To help your body to continue to carry out these processes, it is important to maintain clean, pure water in your home that is free from unwanted contaminants such as heavy metals, chemicals, and toxins. This is just one way of increasing your body’s overall performance and enjoying a happy and healthy lifestyle with the key ingredient that nature intended. The use of a home water filtration system gives you and your family the opportunity to fill a glass, carafe or travel bottle anytime, which helps to create healthy hydration habits for better health whilst also minimising the environmental land fill impact created by plastic bottles.
