Experts agree that we need eight full glasses of water every twenty four hours. They also agree that if we drink coffee or tea, we need an additional glass of water for each cup of coffee or tea that we drink. If we smoke, we need an additional glass of water for each cigarette. If you smoke and/or drink coffee or tea, you could be consuming a great deal of water!But this water intake is vital to the proper operation of our very complex human systems - even if you don't feel thirsty. Dehydration has nothing to do with thirst, and few people realize this. Many people also mistakenly believe that they are tending to their bodies need for water by drinking beverages that have water as an ingredient, such as sodas, coffee, or tea. Again, this is not a correct assumption. What your body needs is pure water - and not the water out of the tap!Water that comes out of the tap is not very pure. In fact, it has toxins in it that get into your body. There are even parasites living in the water that comes through the tap. Always drink bottled water, and choose your bottled water carefully as well. There have been reports that some bottled water brands are filled from - you guessed it - tap water, without being purified!Because most of us don't drink enough water, our colons are full of waste that has not been excreted. There is even up to twenty five pounds of rotted fecal matter stuck to the walls of our intestines. That in itself is a good reason to go gulp great amounts of water this very minute! But at this point, even that won't help to rid your body of these disgusting things.

Colon cleansing benefits you by detoxifying your body, removing parasites, preventing toxicity, aiding in weight loss, preventing illnesses and disease, and by preventing colon cancer. After having the colon cleansed, most people feel a great deal better than they did before. They experience better sleep and find that they have a great deal more energy as well. Health problems that persisted before tend to disappear!After a colon cleanse, you should increase your intake of water to keep your system from getting ‘gunked up' again, and do a colon cleansing at least once a year.
