pH Balance:

•	Dehydration is a primary reason for daytime fatigue and can slow down your metabolism as much as 3%
•	Just a 1%-2% drop in body water can impair your mental focus, concentration, and physical performance.
•	Beverages that contain caffeine such as colas, coffee, or tea actually stimulate fluid loss and promote dehydration.

•	Exercise and prolonged activity cause you to lose vital electrolytes, which are critical for nerve impulses and muscle contractions.
•	Quicky replenishing lost electrolytes is essential for peak physical performance.
•	Major electrolytes (minerals) needed by your body are calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, and chloride.

•	Disease and illness thrive in an acidic environment but can't survive in an alkaline environment.
•	"Alkalinity" equals oxygen and oxygen equals good health.
•	To maintain healthy pH balance, your body must have an abundant supply of ionic minerals - especially calcium.
•	STRESS is one of the most significant causes of acidic conditions in your body.

WHY Water is Critical to Your Good Health

Your body is designed to be approx. 70% water. The most critical fluid in your body, your blood, is mostly water. Your muscles, skin, and vital organs all contain and need large amounts of water for optimal health. Water also transports oxygen to your cells, delivers nutrients, removes waste, and provides energy to the body.

Signs of Dehydration
Your body loses approx. 2.5 liters of water every day just through normal bodily functions. You lose water through urination, respiration, and perspiration. If you are physically active or athletic, you lose even more water. Although "thirst" is an obvious sign of dehydration, the TRUTH is your body is in need of water long before you feel thirsty.

Symptoms of mild dehydration include chronic pains in joints and muscles, lower back pain, headaches, and constipation. A strong odor to your urine, along with a yellow or amber color indicates that you are not getting enough water.

"Supercharge" Your Water
Today, with the overwhelming evidence of all the known contaminants found in standard "tap water," purified and bottled water is more popular than ever. And while purified water is definitely a much healthier choice - it's still plain water.

Alkalinity = Good Health!

"The cells of a healthy body are alkaline while the cells of a diseased body are acidic." - Dr. Arthur Guyton (author of the "Textbook of Medical Physiology")

Is Your Body Acidic?
Some of the symptoms associated with acidic conditions in the body include weight loss problems, insomnia, water retention, arthritis, migraine headaches, constipation, colds, flu, stomach ulcers, acid reflux and even cancer. Many health experts agree that an overly acidic body greatly diminishes the effectiveness of your immune system and usually leads to disease.

Acidic conditions in the body are caused by: junk food, proteins, carbohydrates, fats, sodas, coffee, sports drinks, alcohol, environmental toxins, and stress. Considering this long list of items that can lead to acidic challenges in our body, it becomes very clear why it is so important to drink an alkaline beverage like Xtreme X2O every day.
