<h3 class="western" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Water is on of the most important substance on earth. </span></span></span></h3>
<p class="western"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">All plants and animals need it to survive. If there was no water on earth there would be no life. <strong>We can go for weeks without food, but only 3 days without water! It makes up two thirds of human body weight.</strong> Water can be a cure for many common symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, joint pain, </span></span></span><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">constipation, indigestion, weight gain, fluid retention, dark and pungent urine, and their associated pathologies colitis, kidney stones, bladder and urinary track infections and much more.</span></span></span></p>
<p class="western"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>A mere 2% drop in our body's water supply can trigger signs of dehydration</strong>: day time fatigue, fuzzy short-term memory, trouble and difficulty focusing. An estimated seventy-five percent of Americans have mild, </span></span></span><span style="color: #000080;"><span lang="zxx"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">chronic dehydration</span></span></span></span></span><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">. 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger. </span></span></span></p>

<h3 class="western" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Did you know that: "One glass of water shut down hunger for almost 100% of the dieters" studied in a University of Washington study.</span></span></span></h3>
<p class="western"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Dry mouth is not the only indication of dehydration, in fact it is the last sign. You need to acquire the habit to drink water even when you think you don't need it and eventually your true thirst mechanisms will be reawaken. </span></span></span></p>

 	<li class="western"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Water serves as a lubricant in digestion and almost all other body processes. It also<strong> lubricates our joints and cartilages and allows them to move more fluidly.</strong> Less lubrication equals greater friction and that can cause joint, knee and back pain potentially leading to injuries and arthritis. </span></span></span></li>
 	<li class="western"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">It's essential for proper digestion, nutrient absorption and chemical reactions. </span></span></span></li>

 	<li class="western"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">It's essential for proper circulation in the body. </span></span></span></li>
 	<li class="western"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The levels of oxygen in the bloodstream are greater when the body is well hydrated. The more oxygen the body has readily available the more fat it will burn for energy without the presence of oxygen the body cannot utilize stored fat for energy efficiently. <strong>Not only will the body burn more fat when well hydrated</strong> but because there are increased oxygen levels you will also have more energy. </span></span></span></li>
 	<li class="western"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Water suppresses the appetite naturally and helps the body metabolize stored fat. </span></span></span><span style="color: #000080;"><span lang="zxx"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Studies</span></span></span></span></span> <span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">have shown that a decrease in water intake will cause fat deposits to increase, while <strong>an increase in it can actually reduce fat deposits</strong>.</span></span></span></li>
</ul>
<p class="western"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Consistent failure to drink enough water can lead to Chronic Cellular Dehydration. This condition where the body's cell are never quite hydrated enough leave them in a weakened state, vulnerable to attack from disease. It weakens the body's overall immune system and leads to chemical, nutritional and pH imbalances that can cause a host of diseases.</span></span></span></p>
<p class="western"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Your body looses each day about 2-3 litters of water through elimination, urination, perspiration and respiration. However, this may increase during illness, high performance, exercise, pregnancy and nursing. </span></span></span></p>

<h3 class="western" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The beverages most people choose to consume are often counter-productive in promoting hydration. </span></span></span></h3>
<p class="western"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Coffee, tea, alcohol, soft and sugary drinks are all diuretics and will cause not only the loss of water the are dissolved in, but they will also draw water the bodies reserves. In normal conditions your body needs to replace the fluids it has lost throughout the day. Most of fluids should be replaced by drinking pure water. The rest you should get from fruit, vegetables and their juices. </span></span></span></p>
<p class="western"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">It is difficult for the body to get water from any other source than water itself. Soft drinks and </span></span></span><span style="color: #000080;"><span lang="zxx"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">alcohol</span></span></span></span></span> <span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">steal tremendous amounts of water from the body. Other beverages such as coffee and tea are diuretics therefore stealing precious water from the body.</span></span></span></p>

<h3 class="western" style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">"Most experts agree that water works better than carbohydrates or sugared beverages for moderate exercise."</span></span></span></strong></h3>
<h3>Why should you drink water instead of soft drink?</h3>
<ul>
 	<li>They are diuretic which takes away more water than it provides to the body.</li>
 	<li>The high amounts of sugar in soft drinks causes "sugar crash" because your pancreas has produce an abundance of insulin. Chronic elevation and depletion of sugar and insulin can lead to diabetes and other imbalance related diseases.</li>
 	<li><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The elevated levels of phosphates in soft drinks leach vital minerals from your body. Soft Drinks are made with purified water that also leach vital minerals from your body. Lack of minerals can lead to Heart Disease (lack of </span></span><span style="color: #000080;"><span lang="zxx"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">magnesium</span></span></span></span></span><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">), Osteoporosis (lack of </span></span></span><span style="color: #000080;"><span lang="zxx"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">calcium</span></span></span></span></span><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">) and many other diseases. </span></span></span></li>
 	<li><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Soft Drinks can remove rust from a car bumper or other metal surfaces. Imagine what they can do to your digestive tract as well as the rest of your body. </span></span></span></li>
 	<li><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Soft Drinks severely interfere with digestion. </span></span></span><span style="color: #000080;"><span lang="zxx"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Caffeine</span></span></span></span></span><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Arial, serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> and high amounts of sugar shut down the digestive process. That means your body is not able to take in <strong>ANY </strong>nutrients from the food you may have just eaten.</span></span></span></li>
 	<li>Soft drink lower your immune system making it harder for your body to fight illness.</li>
