Water is essential to our health. When the body lacks water, maintaining the blood becomes a priority over the cells. The body will allow cellular damage to occur before the viscosity of the blood is permitted to be lost.  When it comes to water distribution, the brain is the most important because it contains the highest concentration of water (85%), and for the work it executes as controller over bodily functions.  So losing out on hydration is possibly the worst thing you can do to your body.

Water performs many vital tasks within the body, like breaking down food particles, running the body’s hydroelectric pumps, removing toxins, cooling and carrying nutrients to cells.  Without water the body simply can not perform its necessary functions, and vital processes will shut down.  You need to know when your body is dehydrated and work to counteract the problem.

Sometimes society cannot help but lose through winning. Currently a worldwide epidemic effecting 100,000,000 people has attacked with a vengeance. Type II diabetes is a product of our modern lifestyle. The easy access to unhealthy food, and a mass transit system where our legs take us fewer and fewer places, has directly caused the mushrooming of this disease which effects the digestive system.

Estimates are one in three American children born today will someday suffer from diabetes. Many of the 20,000,000 Americans who currently have Type II diabetes will experience one, or more of the several problems the disease causes.

Each year 750,000 Americans are diagnosed with Type II diabetes. And even though the disease is both chronic and incurable, with changes in eating and exercise habits many diabetics will live long, active lives.
