As the weather heats up, don't forget to drink up! Clean, fresh, drinking water (preferably filtered) is vital to our health and wellbeing. Experts advise a minumum of 1.5 litres a day up to 2 litres a day depending on the weather to help the basic functioning of our bodies. For pregnant and nursing mothers that can go up to 3 litres a day!
Interestingly, did you know that water covers 71% of the Earth's surface (according to Wikipedia) and that 70% of freshwater is consumed by agriculture! We as humans are madeup of anywhere from 55%-78% water depending on our body size and other factors.
But what does water actually help? Water aids all the systems in our bodies -- most specifically the digestive system, the bladder, kidneys (for stress) and is one of the biggest factors in anti-ageing.
For eons, water has been involved in sacred rituals around whereby blessings are passed through the transfer of water, be it a baptism or sacred bathing or priests blessing the water drunk by a village.
At Serendip Store we sell a beautiful book by Emoto called Messages in Water which shows how the molecules in water alter according to the messages that they receive. So send yourself a little extra love and energy today and see the water you drink filled with light!
