Welcome to Day #23 of your “30 Days To Breakthrough” journey.

Yesterday, I provided an Overview of Wellness. Today, we’ll talk about Water: Life’s Elixir.

Water is the single most important nutrient that our body needs.

LESSON
The first simple step to great health, is to drink more water than you already do. How’s that for simple?

Did you know that your body is about 60-70% water and your brain cells are about 85% water? So if you’d like to maximize your brain cells to the fullest, become a serious water drinker.

Water is the single most important nutrient that our body needs. It is involved in every function of our bodies. A person can live five to seven weeks without food, but the average adult can last no more than three to five days without water. Thankfully, more and more emphasis is being placed on water drinking in our current day.

Many people are walking around in a mild to moderate state of dehydration. Having a dry mouth is the last signal of extreme dehydration. The body and all its organs need clean, pure water on an ongoing, daily basis.

How much is enough, someone asks? A commonly accepted formula is to take your weight (in pounds) and divide that number by two. The result is the amount, in ounces per day, that your body needs for adequate hydration. For example, if you weigh 128 pounds, half of that is 64. So, you would need 64 ounces or 2 quarts of water every day.

Man is still unaware of the many benefits of water. Although we love to use water for pleasure and for drinking on a hot day, if we truly understood the benefits of water we would learn to love it even more.

Consuming water can slow the aging process down. Along with aging many other diseases can be prevented and/or improved by consuming quality water.

How much water do you drink each day? What kind of water do you drink? What kind of water is best for you?

QUESTION
Lord, what are some ways I can remember to drink more water during the day?

PRAYER
Heavenly Father, thank you for Your gift of healthy water. Help me to establish the habit of drinking adequate amounts of water each day. And help me to choose the right kind of water to drink. In Jesus name, I pray. Amen.

Blessings to drink plenty of healthy water each day!
