Here in the U.S., it is easy for us to take fresh water for granted. We have access to it just about everywhere. Our access is so plentiful that Alive Water has built a business on fresh water delivery to residential homes. But in some places around the world, fresh water is hard to come by.
That's not good. The human body needs water for survival. Water does so much for our bodies that it's almost hard to quantify. Perhaps looking at some of those things would help you understand why fresh water delivery is so important to us at Alive Water.
Water and Cellular Homeostasis
A good place to start is cellular homeostasis. This self-regulating process is what makes it possible for cells to maintain a stable internal environment. Without cellular homeostasis, living creatures could not survive. Guess what the process needs? Water.
The human body consists of 55-75% water depending on a variety of factors. Without water, human beings cannot live. So for our money, the water we drink might just as well be fresh water. Enter fresh water delivery.
Nutrition and Digestion
Along with water, we also need food to supply the nutrients we cannot get from water. But that doesn't mean water is separate from the food we eat. In truth, it's not. Our bodies need water to process food. Another way to put it is to say that water promotes digestion and, as food is digested, its nutrients can be absorbed. Think about that next time you are waiting for fresh water delivery.
Regulating Body Temperature
The human body regulates temperature through perspiration. Perspiration is made up mostly of, you guessed it, water. That's why you're thirstier in hot weather. The more your body perspires, the more it craves water. There is nothing quite like a glass of cold, fresh water on a hot day.
Waste Removal
Not to be unpleasant, but our bodies also need water to get rid of the waste. Our bodies need plenty of water to keep waste moving through the intestines and urinary tract. Without enough water, a person can experience constipation, kidney stones, and other related problems.
Maintaining Skin Health
Have you ever read posts talking about natural ways to slow down the effects of aging in the skin? If so, perhaps you've noticed that almost all of them include a recommendation to drink plenty of water. There is a good reason for that. Water keeps the skin hydrated. Better yet, hydrated skin is healthy skin.
Every fresh water delivery you accept at your home represents an opportunity to keep your skin healthy and well hydrated. Every time you drink a glass of pure spring water, you are helping your skin look, feel, and stay healthy.
Keeping Your Brain Sharp
Although there is still a lot more on this topic to write about, we will wrap up with the concept of keeping your brain sharp. The brain needs water to function properly. That's why a person experiencing dehydration can seem confused, anxious, and tired. A lack of water negatively impacts cognitive function. On the other hand, staying hydrated keeps the brain sharp.
It goes without saying that our bodies need plenty of water. Water is that life-giving liquid that we all both love and need. So as long as we are drinking plenty of water anyway, why not make it pure spring water? And that being the case, it makes sense to choose fresh water delivery over running to the grocery store every week or so to pick up a case of water and plastic bottles.
