Water creates the most hydrating, cleansing, vital life force for the human body to exist on earth. We know that 50-80% of our blood, skin and other major body organs are formed by water. With these facts in mind replenishing our bodies with water becomes the fountain from which health and natural beauty flow!

Drinking water is the essence of your body's natural beauty intelligence: How much H20 have you drunk today?

You have probably heard the rule eight x eight ounces a day of drinking water and there are also strong advocates for drinking half your body weight in water. Linking back to the percentage of water (50-80% of our body is water) we cannot underestimate the power of influence water has on our health and natural beauty!

When your body is hydrated it feels more fluid, soft and supple and your skin has a smooth appearance. Symptoms of dehydration are noticeable when you have  cracked and dry skin, especially notice your lips--if they appear and feel smooth and plump you are more likely hydrated.

Water is a beauty enhancing fluid because it serves your body by dissolving essential nutrients into your body. Water also helps your body eliminate toxins, and influencing your body's natural PH balance. (Blood pH is regulated to stay within the narrow range of 7.35 to 7.45, making it slightly alkaline.)

If your internal body becomes too acidic the conditions for dis-ease are created and your natural health and beauty are compromised.

Drinking the purest water available is essential to your health and beauty, Natural Spring Water or Filtered water are the safest choices in today's toxic world. Be sure you know the quality of your water before drinking!
