Go grab a bottle of water then come back and read this. No, seriously, go get yourself some water.
Human beings have an undeniable thirst for water. It’s the most important nutrient for us on the planet, and ideally, we should be drinking water all day, every day. Although a simple recipe, it can be a challenge to keep up with this near-constant need for water.
55-75% of your body weight comes from water. To put this into perspective, the average 150 lb person is 82.5-112.5 lbs of water. Unfortunately, an estimated 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. How can this be?, you ask. We have potable (that means drinkable) water everywhere in this country. The water from our faucets is drinkable, the water from our showers is drinkable, and most people can even drink out of their garden hose. Granted, there can be some impurities or minerals that make it taste a little funky or it could be close to the government limits for toxins. But, compared to many other countries, we have great water here in the U.S. We are truly blessed by this abundance. We also have access to innumerable types of bottled waters and water filtration systems. This being said, Why are so many people dehydrated?
