It is important to drink water to hydrate properly
because, as little as 2% of dehydration can
cause foggy brain, tiredness, lower back pain,
constipation and other arthritic conditions.
When you drink good quality spring alkaline
water your blood cells absorb the water and
you are not running to the toilet constantly. This
helps your kidneys as they are not having to
work so hard and your entire immune system is
enhanced because you are hydrating your body
with usable water – your life blood.
When dehydrated, the body will tap the water
from cells and blood to keep the vital organs
functional causing the blood to become thicker,
increasing the risk for clotting, and making
it harder to pump it through the system –
hence the accumulation of toxins. This can
have a serious impact on blood pressure and
heart disease. Lack of water is also linked
to headaches, pain and tension in muscles
and joints. It even causes stomachaches and
heartburn. Everything is connected throughout
the body, and it’s important not to neglect one of
its fundamental tools.

into your body then your body will gather water
from whatever sources it can within itself. It will

Alkaline spring water is the only water proven to
be easily absorbed into the cells of our bodies
as it is recognised as a positive nutrient.
even your stools and urine. It is like bathing the
cells and brain in recycled sewerage water! This
will impact your physical and mental health and
speed up the aging process. The bloodstream
provides your cells and organs with oxygen and
nutrients, and takes away any waste products.
Hydrated blood is essential and important for
your health and for eliminating toxins.
Drink only good quality alkaline spring water to
enhance your immunity, feel better, look better
and rid your body of toxic material that could be
harming your wellbeing. Like any toxic material
it will go rancid and by ridding it from your body
