Drinking water is as valuable as the air we breathe

A healthy life is unthinkable without water.

Dissolving, neutralizing, and eliminating all the toxins and acidic waste released from the tissues into the blood is only possible when there is a sufficient supply of quality water. Water is also an excellent solvent that carries nutrients into the blood and delivers them to the cells. The main functions of water in the body are hydration, alkalizing the body, mineralization, and detoxification.

Water is as necessary as the air we breathe; water is the source of life.

• Make it a habit to drink at least 2.5-3 liters of water a day. One of the first things you should do when you wake up in the morning should be to drink 2 glasses of water.
• It is important to drink water half an hour before meals, or at the earliest half an hour after. Do not drink water during a meal or right after it.
• Our body loses fluid in hot weather; in such conditions, we should take in at least as much fluid as we lose. At certain times, going to a sauna or Turkish bath to sweat is healthy. However, do not neglect to drink plenty of water after sweating.
• What we refer to as water actually encompasses many liquids. By consuming ayran, soda water, herbal teas, and fresh fruit and vegetables, we also ensure water enters our body. Artificially sweetened lemonade and nectar juices are not particularly healthy.
• Excessive alcohol consumption is unhealthy because it constitutes empty calories, and should not be counted as water.
• A person who eats a healthy, balanced diet should not consume more than 25 g of pure alcohol a day; for a healthy circulatory system, this should not exceed one glass of wine, 300 ml of beer, and one glass of whisky.
• Water is the world’s most natural food source—it provides energy but contains no fat, calories, or cholesterol. Despite all these benefits, most people do not consume enough water.
• Water truly is life. 70% of our body is made up of water. Our body’s temperature balance, the continuation of intracellular life, and the burning and digestion of food all depend on water.
• Drinking too little water lays the groundwork for serious health problems. Today we know that the underlying cause of many diseases is what we call dehydration—a lack of water in the body.
• When water intake is low, the fat percentage in our body rises; when the kidneys do not receive enough water, the liver’s workload increases, and as a result, the kidneys become even more burdened.
• The liver, which is supposed to convert fat stores into energy, falls behind in its work, and fat burning slows down.
• Water is also effective in clearing toxins from our body. When drunk cold, it enters the bloodstream more quickly.
