Water

Humans evolved from creatures that lived in the sea. We adapted to carry the Earth's oceans within us as our blood.

Water

Life on land has led us to forget that we are primarily still aquatic beings. 


Each one of us is made of water. We are 70% water by volume, but molecularly, our bodies are 99% water molecules. The water we make ourselves of is more important than the food that we eat.


Water does far more than just quench your thirst. Ensuring you are properly hydrated is the single most important step you can take towards improving your health. Water is the main component of our blood. Within five minutes of drinking water, it becomes our blood, supplying our cells with oxygen and nutrients, and keeping our organs functioning properly. It regulates body temperature, keeps our joints lubricated, prevents infections and carries waste out. Being well hydrated improves our sleep, aids digestion, increases brain function and even improves our mood. There is a direct correlation between dehydration and aging. Cells can live almost indefinitely in an optimum environment. The cell itself is immortal. It is only the environment surrounding the cell (composed of water) that degenerates.


All water is not created equal

A number of harmful chemicals are added to Australia’s tap water, including chlorine and fluoride. Chlorine is known to trigger asthma and dermatitis, and can also increase ‘bad’ cholesterol, increasing the risk of stroke or heart attack. Fluoride has neurotoxic potential. The fluoride added to our water is not the naturally occurring calcium fluoride found in trace amounts in our waterways, it is either sodium silicofluoride, or hydrofluorosilicic acid. These are toxic by-products sourced from phosphate fertiliser manufacturers.


We recommend Pureau (readily available at Woolworths and Coles) or a water filtration system that removes fluoride and heavy metals such as Reverse Osmosis or Distillation. Alkaway or Berkey are great simple, affordable filter systems.


Remineralising your water

To fully enjoy the benefits of contaminate free water, we suggest adding a tiny pinch of good quality Celtic Sea Salt, or Pink Himalayan Salt to every glass of water. Drinking demineralised, or 'empty' water can affect the balance of important elements such as calcium and magnesium in the body, and lead to the dilution of electrolytes. These salts contain over 80 essential trace minerals that, when added back to your water, help to restore the balance of minerals, allowing for better absorption and hydration.


"If the internal ocean is maintained in conditions identical to those of

its oceanic origins, the health of the entire body will be preserved"

Top Tips 

  • Warm water is the best for hydration and detoxification. 

  • Avoid drinking around meal times as this can dilute digestive enzymes. It is best to drink half an hour before meals and half an hour after.
