Mayo Clinic on the Importance of Drinking Water

What are the health benefits of water?

Water is your body's principal chemical component and makes up about 50% to 70% of your body weight. Your body depends on water to survive.

Every cell, tissue and organ in your body needs water to work properly. For example, water:

· Gets rid of wastes through urination, perspiration and bowel movements
· Keeps your temperature normal
· Lubricates and cushions joints
· Protects sensitive tissues
Lack of water can lead to dehydration — a condition that occurs when you don't have enough water in your body to carry out normal functions. Even mild dehydration can drain your energy and make you tired.

What about the advice to drink 8 glasses a day?

You've probably heard the advice to drink eight glasses of water a day. That's easy to remember, and it's a reasonable goal.

Help Get Drinking Water to Fort Severn First Nation

https://www.canadahelps.org/en/charities/the-learn-and-uplift-foundation/campaign/help-get-drinking-water-to-fort-severn-first-nation/
Fort Severn First Nation, Ontario's northern most fly-in community, has a Drinking Water Emergency. THERE IS NONE. Over the last few days, we have procured water at Thunder Bay and it has been airlifted to Fort Severn. We also received a donation of 72 4 ltr bottles from a Gurudwara (Sikh Temple) member at Thunder Bay. Those 72 bottles of water, cost Fort Severn another $2,000 to fly up.
100% of your net donation will be used to address the following:
Priority 1: Purchasing water at Thunder Bay;
Priority 2: Contributing to transportation costs by air;
Priority 3: Implementing a sustainable way of recycling the plastics that accumulate at FSFN.

Donate to HELP GET DRINKING WATER TO FORT SEVERN FIRST NATION by LAUF, and make a difference today. Support the causes you care about at CanadaHelps. Donating is easy and secure.
