Well Being

Well Being

We're all concerned with our well being, and yet the key to it is far simpler than we might imagine.

The clue's in the name. The health benefits of drinking fresh water have been known for so long that it's even reflected in the language. Our well-being is vastly improved by staying properly hydrated. Here's why; Water is the most important nutrient in the body, regulating almost all physiological functions, maintaining cellular integrity and ensuring metabolic efficiency.

As well as helping us live longer, it can help us get more out of life; strengthening our bones, enhancing muscle tone, lubricating the joints for greater flexibility, increasing physical stamina and sending energy levels soaring. You'll be a picture of health, and more creative and productive besides.

Not only does water brighten your complexion, it brightens your outlook as well. It's a strange quirk that a real lust for life should be inspired by something as straightforward as water.

Why we need Water

For the original aqua libra, help yourself to a refreshing glass of water. Drinking water is one of the keys to your well being, creating balance in the immune system, which, as well as making you less susceptible to illness, also reduces stress, improves physical appearance and increases vitality. As well as the more severe cases, water also has major benefits in the more mundane, everyday sense.

Because many of us are mildly dehydrated during the working day we tend to find we don't perform to our full ability - we become tired, restless, fidgety, lose concentration and find mental tasks more difficult. This is especially true of the afternoon just after lunch when your body has 'nicked' vital water to help digest lunch and your body has had the gradual build up of water lose since beginning work.

Suddenly you find you cannot concentrate. Your mind goes blank, and you cannot face hard mental challenges or complex tasks that need doing. This is purely a physiological response - you're dehydrated and your body has taken the water for more vital tasks to keep you alive than higher cognition and concentration.

Clearly the answer is simple. Water is your body's natural lubricant, coolant and fuel wrapped up in one. It is absorbed in less than five minutes and will restore your body's equilibrium getting your nervous and endocrine systems back on track.

Take advantage of our drinking water delivery service, the water comes direct from a natural source deep in the English countryside and has a valuable mineral content, being rich in calcium and magnesium. You then have a source of healthy and refreshing water directly under your nose and can ensure you go someway towards drinking your recommended 2 litres of water a day whilst at work. The dispensing units we install keep the water pleasantly cool and are a convenient and hygienic way to serve it.

Brain Work Requires Water

The brain is your work motor - it allows you to take on tasks, problem-solve, organise, plan, negotiate deals and discuss concepts - the complete plethora of daily business functions. Without enough water in the systems the careful physiological balance in the body is thrown out of kilter, with water being 'stolen' from less vital areas to fulfil vital life sustaining functions.

Higher cognition and brain function are considered as non-vital - it is unlikely you will keel over because you cannot recall the details of Einstein's explanation of the photoelectric effect at the quantum level - so your physiology prioritises and supplies water to vital organ functions such as the liver which removes toxins from the body.

The problem is that higher cognition and brain functions are 'vital' to a successful business or organisation that pays employees and staff for the activity of their 'little grey cells'. Herein lies the need for drinking water points to facilitate easy access to water, the body's natural fuel.
