The human body can live without food for several weeks, yet only day without water. This vital nutrient helps you to maintain your body temperature, metabolise fat, aid digestion, cushion organs, transport nutrients, flush toxins from your body, and keep your skin hydrated.
A recent Newspoll study found that 30% of Australians drink just three glasses or fewer a day. Hhydration can lead to symptoms such as headaches, weakness and lethargy, hallucinations, urinary tract infections, kidney stones and, in extreme cases, kidney failure.
Water makes up between 55% to 75% of your total body weight, depending on the ratio of muscle to fat. Muscle tissue holds more water. Adults lose between 2.5 to 3 litres of water every day through normal bodily functions such as perspiration, and more in hot weather or if exercising. Most foods, even those that seem hard and dry, contain wwater. They provide about a litre of the water we need each day. The rest must come from liquids.
Fluids such as juice, soft drinks, coffee, tea, milk and soup can count towards your daily intake, but they also add excess kilojoules so go easy on them. The noticeable rise in the statistics on dental decay, especially among the young, is attributed to bottled water which does not contain fluoride.
Mannatech was founded in November 1993 by current CEO and Chairman Sam Caster. Mannatech's flagship Ambrotose, is based on the discovery that the body's immune system needs eight plant-based sugars - also known as glyconutrients - to function properly.
