Cats and the Water They Drink

Wise Water cares about what you and your pets are drinking.

Cats, like all other pets, need to have access to clean water at all times. Your cat’s water bowl should be washed and refilled at least once a day or more, not just topped up.

Some cats are fussy about the type of water they will drink. Some will only drink running water from a tap or from a certain bowl. Of course, there is always the odd one or two who choose to drink from the bottom of the bath, or even the toilet bowl!

Eagle Water would like to show you how you and your pets can drink clean, fresh water everyday. To learn more please call 1-866-427-7757.

5 Reasons to Drink Lemon Water

​

Providing more than just hydration, fresh lemon juice and water can deliver surprising benefits.Wise Water International suggests starting every morning with a glass of warm lemon water to stimulate digestion for the day and clear the body of any toxins that may have settled in the digestive tract overnight. We tend to reach for those warm beverages in the morning like coffee and tea, but try starting your day with some warm lemon water first to kick-start digestion. The water doesn’t always have to be warm, but it should be purified.
Here are 5 health benefits of drinking lemon water:

1. Support immune function:

Lemons are high in vitamin C which is known for its supportive role in healthy immune function which may reduce the risk of respiratory infection. Vitamin C found in lemons demonstrates anti-inflammatory effects, and is used as complementary support for asthma and other respiratory symptoms^.

2. Alkalize the body:

Although a lemon may seem acidic, lemons are one of the most alkalizing foods for the body. Lemons contain both citric and ascorbic acid, weak acids easily metabolized from the body allowing the mineral content of lemons to help alkalize the blood.

3. Aid digestion:

Believed to stimulate and purify the liver, lemon juice is traditionally understood to support digestive hydrochloric acid in the stomach further aiding digestion. Vitamin C status has been associated with reduced risk of peptic ulcers caused by the bacteria Helicobacter pylori.

4. Clear skin:

Vitamin C and other antioxidants in lemons combat free radical damage. Free radical damage is responsible for many symptoms of aging. Antioxidant intake can help offset this damage, minimizing wrinkles. Lemon juice can also be applied to scars and age spots to help reduce their appearance. Lemon water is also believed to help purge toxins from the blood, helping to keep skin clear of blemishes.

5. Promote healing:

Vitamin C promotes wound healing and is an essential nutrient in the maintenance of healthy bones, connective tissue, and cartilage. Vitamin C also displays anti-inflammatory properties making vitamin C is an essential nutrient in the maintenance of good health and recovery from stress and injury.

Wise Water International (distributors of Eagle Water Treatment Systems) suggests sprucing up your everyday water with some lemon. Also be sure to use purified water with the lemon to maximize it's benefits. To learn more about purified water please call 1-866-427-7757.

When Should You Be Drinking Water?

Wise Water International agrees that pure, clean drinking water helps our bodies function properly and maintain good health.

​

Drinking water at the correct time of the day maximizes its effectiveness and health benefits on the human body.
First thing in the morning.
Drinking 2 glasses of purified water after waking up helps activate your internal organs and digestive system.
Before each meal.
1 glass of purified water 30 minutes before a meal helps the digestion process.
Before taking a bath.
1 glass of purified water before a warm bath helps kick-start the relaxation process and  lowers blood pressure.
Throughout the day.
Try to drink some purified water throughout other parts of the day. This helps keep your body better hydrated. Thirst is the first sign of your body already being dehydrated.
Before exercising.
When exercising, your body’s temperature rises, and you loose more fluid. So you need to replace this by drinking water.
With medication and when you are sick.
Water helps to dissolve medication and spread it throughout your digestive organs for rapid absorption. Water also prepares the tissues to receive the medication-substance and put it to work faster. When you are sick, drinking plenty of fluids is important for maintaining hydration and faster recovery.
With a cup of coffee or other diuretics .
Certain beverages, such as coffee, soft drinks and other sugary drinks tend to be diuretics which dehydrate your body. You need to replace this with a glass of purified water.
Before going to sleep.
1 glass of water before going to bed helps avoid stroke or heart attack in the more elderly.

Keep Your Children Hydrated This Summer

What’s the best drink to quench a thirst? Water! Wise Water has all the solutions you need.

Fruit juice, which contains Vitamin C, is often seen as a healthy drink choice. However, fruit juices are high in sugar, just like fruit drinks, flavoured mineral water, energy drinks and soft drinks. A 250ml cup of apple juice or cola contains up to six teaspoons of sugar.
You can have them occasionally, but these drinks are not a necessary part of a healthy diet.
The recommended daily amount of fluids for children are:

• 5 glasses (1 litre) for 5 to 8 year olds
• 7 glasses (1.5 litres) for 9 to12 year olds
• 8 to10 glasses (2 litres) for 13+ years 

You should drink more water when you’re exercising or on a hot day. 

Tips to help you drink more water

• Bring a water bottle everywhere you go.
• In summer, put a frozen water bottle in your lunch box.
• Keep cold water in the fridge during summer and drink warm in the winter.
• Water down juices and/or sport drinks.
• Limit those sugary drinks.

Wise Water International (distributors of Eagle Water Treatment Systems) want to make sure you and your kids stay hydrated during these scorching hot summer days. For tips on clean drinking water please call 1-866-427-7757.

The Importance of Electrolytes & Drinking Water

Dehydration can occur quickly during exercise. Your body needs to replenish water during and after exercise to prevent dehydration. But over longer periods of physical activity the body also loses electrolytes. These need to be replaced as well, and water does not contain them.

Your body needs electrolytes at all times. They are molecules that contain free ions and help to regulate many processes in the body, including nerve and muscle function, hydration, blood pH, blood pressure and healing damaged tissue. Electrolytes are obtained naturally through many foods and are usually not a concern to individuals adhering to a casual exercise routine. In more extreme cases, though, your body's electrolytes need to be taken into consideration.

Doctors recommend drinking small amounts of water every 10 to 15 minutes during exercise. This helps to immediately replace the water lost through perspiration. For exercise lasting more than 60 minutes, other nutrients must be included. Drinking a beverage that features a carbohydrate content of 5 to 7 percent allows the body to absorb the carbohydrates at a quick rate, providing quick fuel and helping to replenish electrolytes to the body.

Many sports drinks, including Gatorade, Powerade and Vitamin Water all feature carbohydrates and electrolytes that are valuable for people exercising in excess of 60 minutes. You can also make your own sports drink featuring electrolytes by adding a small amount of orange or fruit juice to water, or mixing 5 tbsp. table sugar and 1/3 tsp. salt into a liter of water.

Not only is drinking was important but so is replacing lost electrolytes. For clean and healthy drinking tips please call Wise Water International (distributors of Eagle Water Treatment Systems) at 1-866-427-7757.
