Water &
My Health
Water is life’s support system. Clean water is absolutely fundamental to good health. Water makes up over 70% of our overall body, 75% of our brain, 80% of our blood, and 96% of our liver. It’s involved in nearly every aspect of our health, and drinking adequate amounts of clean water each day is essential.
Water helps to regulate many processes, including:
- Salt balance
- Absorption of nutrients, and
- Detoxification
It’s also used our nervous system to help transmit signals to our cells. Some experts believe that dehydration or contamination may be the root cause of some degenerative diseases and neurological disorders like attention deficit disorder (add), chronic fatigue syndrome, and depression.
The liver uses water to help flush toxins from our body. This detoxification system is a very important components of long-term health.
The CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) calls water the “foundation of life” and stresses the role that clean water plays in our lives. However, keeping that water safe and clean isn’t an easy task, and involves using chemicals that should be reduced before use or consumption. That responsibility rests with the home owner.
Taking control of the quality of your water means taking control of your health.
With apogee, that’s possible.
