Make an Offering to Mama Wata Before Time Runs Out!
Ma, Nu, Tefnut, Auset, Yemaya, Oshun are the many names for Mother Waters used in the Afrakan Diaspora. Over time, the Mami Wata has become blended in cultures and religions, influenced by Hinduism, Islam and Christianity.

People seem to carry bottled water everywhere they go these days. In fact, it has become the second most popular drink (behind soft drinks). This is a disturbing statistic, since sugary soda, especially those containing high fructose corn syrup, is a huge dehydrating health hazard, that raises the risk of obesity, stroke, and other heart problems. However, these dangers can be avoided if people choose to just drink water- which doesn’t have negative side effects. So, let's put the sugary stuff to the side and make water the number one drink of choice. The benefits really are endless. The old suggestion to drink eight glasses a day is our best guideline.
There are plenty of reasons to drink water. In fact, drinking water (either plain or in the form of other fluids or foods) is an essential nutrient to your health. When your water intake does not equal your output, you can become dehydrated. Fluid losses are accentuated in warmer climates, during strenuous exercise, in high altitudes, and in older adults, whose sense of thirst may not be as sharp.
"Through the posterior pituitary gland, your brain communicates with your kidneys and tells it how much water to excrete as urine or hold onto for reserves," says Guest, who is also an adjunct professor of medicine at Stanford University.
When you're low on fluids, the brain triggers the body's thirst mechanism. And unless you are taking medications that make you thirsty, Guest says, you should listen to those cues and get yourself a drink of water, Coconut water, or Real Fresh natural juices -- anything but alcohol.
Most people are suffering from levels of dehydration, most of the day, usually, a lot of the pains in our bodies are usually attributed to dehydration. The first thing a hospital will do for someone who has been admitted into a hospital is tagging them, then introduce a saline IV.
Getting enough water every day is important for your health. Healthy people meet their fluid needs by drinking before they get thirsty. Most of your fluid needs are met through the water and beverages you drink. However, you can get some fluids through the foods that you eat. For example, broth soups and foods with high water content such as Coconuts, Watermelon, Celery, or other melons can contribute to fluid intake.
Here and Now
In this modern-day of oil fracking, The abomination of the Dakota Access pipeline, The open genocide in Flint Michigan with Mercury and Lead Pollution in water, The Gulf water pollution in the aftermath of Katrina in Louisiana, the death of the Great Lakes, Missouri, and Mississippi rivers, we are suffering from a core assault on our lives and the Ecological environment. We must be aware of the close ties that bind us to the life of this planet, and the continual assault of the environment. Our water is used not only for drinking, bathing, cooking, and cleaning. Finding clean air, water and food are fundamental to our existence and survival as a species. It is fundamentally important to have access to clean water, and learn how to preserve and filter clean your water, We must use Alkaline waters to raise the health of our bodies. Most Important, we must re-establish our relationship with Mother Water.People seem to carry bottled water everywhere they go these days.

Basics
https://www.cdc.gov/healthywater/drinking/nutrition/Getting enough water every day is important for your health. Healthy people meet their fluid needs by drinking before they get thirsty. Most of your fluid needs are met through the water and beverages you drink. However, you can get some fluids through the foods that you eat.

Water helps your body:
- Keep your temperature normal
- Lubricate and cushion joints
- Protect your spinal cord and other sensitive tissues
- Get rid of wastes through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements
- Your body needs more water when you are:
- In hot climates
- More physically active
- Running a fever
- Having diarrhea or vomiting
If you think you are not getting enough water, these tips may help:
- Carry a water bottle for easy access when you are at work or running errands.
- Freeze some freezer-safe water bottles. Take one with you for cold water all day long.
- Choose water instead of sugar-sweetened beverages. This can also help with weight management. Substituting water for one 20-ounce sugar-sweetened drink will save you about 240 calories. For example, during the school day students should have access to drinking water, giving them a healthy alternative to sugar-sweetened beverages.
- Choose water when eating out. Generally, you will save money and reduce calories.
- Add a wedge of lime or lemon to your water. This can help Alkalinize and improve the taste to help you drink more water than you usually do
Many are trading pitchers of beer for glasses of water. Whether it’s a New Year’s resolution to drink more H2O to just plain Hot and thirsty, here are some convincing reasons to Drink Water Down
*Fluid balance
Roughly 60 percent of the body is made of water. Drinking enough H2O maintains the body’s fluid balance, which helps transport nutrients in the body, regulate body temperature, digest food, and more. Drinking-Water Helps Maintain the Balance of Body Fluids. Your body is composed of about 60% water. The functions of these bodily fluids include digestion, absorption, circulation, creation of saliva, transportation of nutrients, and maintenance of body temperature.

*Calorie control
Forget other diet tricks—drinking water could also help with weight loss. Numerous studies have found a connection between water consumption and losing a few pounds. The secret reason? Water simply helps people feel full, and as a result, consumes fewer calories.
Muscle fuel
*Sweating
At the gym, sweating causes muscles to lose water. And when the muscles don’t have enough water, they get tired . So for extra energy, try drinking water to push through that final set of squats.
Clearer skin
Certain toxins in the body can cause the skin to inflame, which results in clogged pores and acne . While science saying water makes the skin wrinkle-free is contradictory, water does flush out these toxins and can reduce the risk of pimples.

*Kidney function
Our kidneys process 200 quarts of blood daily, sifting out waste and transporting urine to the bladder. Yet, kidneys need enough fluids to clear away what we don’t need in the body. Let's drink to that!
Productivity boost
In order to really focus, a glass of water could help people concentrate and stay refreshed and alert.
*Fatigue buster
Move over coffee—water can help fight those tired eyes too . One of the most common symptoms of dehydration is tiredness. Just another reason to go for the big gulp! (Not the 7-11 kind.)
Hangover help
If alcohol has got the best of you, help a hangover with a glass of water to hydrate the body and stop that pounding headache.
*Pain prevention
A little water can really go a long way. Aching joints and muscle cramps and strains can all occur if the body is dehydrated.
Keep things flowing
*Elimination
Nobody wants to deal with digestion issues. Luckily, drinking enough water adds fluids to the colon which helps make things move smoothly.
*Sickness fighter
Water may help with decongestion and dehydration, helping the body bounce back when feeling under the weather. Just beware—drinking fluids hasn’t been scientifically proven to beat colds in one swoop, so don’t swap this for a trip to the doctor or other cold remedies.
*Brain boost
A study in London found a link between students bringing water into an exam room and better grades, suggesting H2O promotes clearer thinking. While it’s unclear if drinking the water had anything to do with a better score, it doesn’t hurt to try it out!
Bottoms Up—Your Action Plan
http://greatist.com/health/reasons-to-drink-water
The amount of water that people need per day is up for debate, but studies suggest adults need nine to 16 cups of H2O. However, this number varies depending on activity level, age, and how much water people are consuming in coffee, tea, or water-rich veggies and fruit. Here’s how to keep yourself hydrated: Begin by drinking a glass of water as soon as you wake up, and 30 minutes before eating any big meal. (This will help control appetite, too.) Get in the habit of keeping a water bottle on hand at all times. And if the taste beings to bore, spice up the taste buds with a squeeze of citrus to the glass! Before you know it, all the benefits of water will be right at your fingertips… and in your body.
