The cornerstone of the functioning of the entire body is the digestive system, and water plays an important part in correct digestion. Digestion supplies the energy for your entire body… and when there’s not enough energy, things stop working correctly.
The stomach requires the proper acidity in order to start the process of digestion. Without enough water, the hydrochloric acid in the stomach is too weak. The small intestine requires alkalinity. In order for that to function properly, the stomach must release food into the small intestine at the proper pH. Then the large intestine requires the food to be acidic once again. This is a delicate balance.
If the body does not have the right amount of water, then it will attempt to make adjustments to systems in the body in order to conserve the water that is there. The results are usually not good… stomach ulcers, constipation, and other ailments.
Safe, clean water is critical for your good health.
Water is the medium in which the biochemical reactions in the body take place and it’s important that the water you drink be safe so that nothing interferes with the intricate body chemistry. There are many different types of contaminants, but it’s also important to consider things that we normally consume as a type of contaminant. Drinking soda or coffee is not the same as drinking safe, pure water.
When drinking water, you must ensure that the water is safe and you must get the right amount of water to keep your body functioning normally.
