Let’s talk about water a little bit. Our body weight is about 60% water, every cell, organ and tissue in our body requires water to regulate and maintain proper body function. A number of factors determine the amount of water needed for an individual. In this part of the world with a climate such as ours, a considerate amount of water is needed per individual.

The same way our throats gets dry and in dire need of water, our joints and spinal cord do too. Water lubricates and cushions them. Dehydration is a breeding ground for headaches and migraines. Drinking enough water each day aids in keeping these aches away. Drinking warm water during menstruation keeps your body from retaining water and avoid painful bloating.
