Why do you always tell me to drink water?

     I perform sound healing. One of the big components of any sound healing performance is reminding my guests to consume H2O.

It is essential, I say after performing a sound healing class. Just for this evening, drink so much water that when you see water you say I don’t want to even have another sip. 

     The water molecules and the sound work together to create a gentle massage. The more water you consume after the performance, the more likely it is for your body to release those water molecules that the sound has just danced with.

    According to a recent report from the U.S. Geological Survey, the human body is made up of more than 60% water. (1)  Water serves a number of essential functions to keep us all going:

• A vital nutrient to the life of every cell, acts first as a building material.
• It regulates our internal body temperature by sweating and respiration
• The carbohydrates and proteins that our bodies use as food are metabolized and transported by water in the bloodstream;
• It assists in flushing waste mainly through urination
• acts as a shock absorber for brain, spinal cord, and fetus
• forms saliva
• lubricates joints

A vital nutrient to the life of every cell, acts first as a building material.

Is this where we talk about human kind and how we survive in our mothers womb for the first ten months of our life? I am aware that almost every word in the preceding sentence could be argued. As I have no disrespect for how others feel, the fact is we were born in a woman’s body, secured in a womb, protected by liquid, made of water. When life begins is a different subject all together.

It regulates our internal body temperature by sweating and respiration

AHA! That’s the moment when we think back to our gym teacher. We sweat, we perspire, we let go of water. These water molecules released from our body cool us down. “Science”

The carbohydrates and proteins that our bodies use as food are metabolized and transported by water in the bloodstream;

Another AHA! When getting rid of weight, it is important to hydrate. Getting from point A to point B we need a transport. Our transport is water.

It assists in flushing waste mainly through urination

Out goes the waste. Yep, urine is waste.

Friends, drink water.  And if you happen to have any foods/fruits that are water rich eat those. It helps.
