Nutrition Tip

The human body is made up primarily of water. Based on that truth, it can be deduced that water should be given to the body on a consistent basis to maintain a high level of function. Because we are oxygen dependent beings, water is the healthiest thing we can consume. Water by weight is 89% oxygen, and 11% hydrogen. This means that by drinking a glass of water, one is drinking a hefty glass of oxygen. The transportation of oxygen is what drives the body’s metabolism, and because of this, the body's metabolism is increased by simply drinking water.
