Dehydration is one of the most overlooked and basic causes of disease.
By Dr. Mark Sircus
'Most people do not look at water as a nutrient but it is, and it is the most important one. We can live for a few months without food but will last only about 10 days without water.

Most experts insist that the majority of Americans are chronically under-hydrated and should drink more water, and the reasons behind their insistence are solid.
