What are You?

Aside from being an Amazing Being, physically, you're 60 to 70 percent water. Your tissues and organs are predominately made of water. Your brain is 75 to 90 percent water, your heart is 75 percent water, your blood is 90 percent water, your eyes are 90 percent water, your lungs are 85 percent water, your skin is 72 percent water, your muscles and kidneys are 75 to 80 percent water. Your beautiful, solid bones are 30 percent water. Your liver, an amazing 96 percent water, uses that water to metabolize fat, (which, interestingly, is only 10 percent water), into energy.

Every earthly molecule is dependent upon this Wondrous Elixir of Life.

We can survive days without food, but four days without water can be fatal. Water has numerous duties, which include it as a:

• nutrient transport system

• electrical message system

• energy combustion system

• waste disposal system

• chemical conduit

• lubricant

• solvent

• dilutor

• dilator

• coolant

• heat bank

"Next to blood relationships,

Come water relationships."

"When we try to pick out anything by itself,

we find that it is bound fast by a thousand

invisible cords that cannot be broken

to everything in the Universe."
