What’s In Your Cup? “It’s Water Time”

In 2009, after an unforeseen battle with my health, my dad informed me about a book titled, “Your Body’s Many Cries for Water by F. Batmanghelidj, M.D.” I then went out on a mission to dramatically improve my health through not only major lifestyle changes (including rest, exercise, and healthy eating) but also an increase in my daily consumption of Water. And guess what? It worked beyond my wildest expectations!!!

And after further research, I discovered that it was reported that less than 40 percent of Americans drink less than half of the recommended amount of Water daily, and about a quarter of children under the age of 19 do not drink any Water at all.

Immediately, my new life’s mission became evident, “To help improve our society’s overall health through the increase of the daily intake of recommended Water!!!“

Why Water and Why the Importance?

Because simply put, without Water there would be no life. It is vital to not only us as human beings but to every other living organism including plants and animals. In Alun Lewis’ 1982 book titled “WATER”, former Energy Editor of the Financial Times, Ray Dafter, states, “…Water is not only used for drinking, growing things, and, of course, washing, but it is also an enormous pool, in fact, an endless source, of energy. It covers three-quarters of the earth’s surface and is constantly on the move – as tides and waves in oceans; as rivers; and as crashing waterfalls. All this movement we can trap, and use – for energy!”

And as a most invaluable source of energy and lifeline for humans, Water – good ole H₂O – is “Every Body’s Best Buddy” and no doubt a Friend that can make the difference between sickness & health and life & death. Think about it. Our bodies are two-thirds Water. And while a human can survive more than a week without food, a person will more than likely expire within a few days without Water. Thus, Water is an irreplaceable Friend for life!!!

Although the Water industry topples a trillion dollars per year, we as human beings are simply not consuming the recommended intake of Water. Even the Whitehouse has now joined the “Partnerships for A Healthier America” in a new effort to encourage everyone to drink more Water.

And this uniquely coincides with “MY WATER BUDDY AND FAMILY™’s mission: “To entertainingly promote the health benefits of drinking the daily recommended intake of water to children and their families so they can have a better, more fulfilling quality of life through a healthier body”!!!

So, my question to you: “Why do you think drinking Water is important and have you had your Water today?”
