If there’s one topic that all physicians, nutrition experts, and medical professionals agree on, it’s the importance of water and staying hydrated. Water makes up approximately 60 percent of our body weight and is essential for maintaining our health.

We can survive up to 40 days without food, but we cannot survive without water for more than three to five days. Only 57 percent of adults drink more than four cups of water per day. That is a serious metabolic drought!

I cannot stress this enough—if you are not drinking enough water on a daily basis, your body will not function at its best!
