Hydration: A New Paradigm

A common denominator in all living things is the need for water.  Building the molecules of life is only possible when their components are dissolved in water.  Adequate water intake and utilization is indispensable to all microorganisms, plants and animals.  The human body is composed of 25% solid matter and 75 percent water.  Water is essential to life, and is key to the rate of aging, immunity, and all biochemical processes that occur in biological systems; especially the brain which consists of about 85 percent water.  Water makes life possible because it has unique physical and chemical
