“Water does not resist. Water flows. When you plunge your hand into it, all you feel is a caress. Water is not a solid wall; it will not stop you. But water always goes where it wants to go, and nothing in the end can stand against it…Remember you are half water. If you can’t go through an obstacle, go around it. Water does.” ― Margaret Atwood, The Penelopiad
Water is omnipresent, and is the essence of life. As the Canadian poet surmised, we are half water or in fact, 70% water. Water is essential for our well-being. Lack of water can lead to various issues. In fact, consumption of 8 glasses of water is encouraged to bring regularity in our systems.
Water on its own is boring, isn’t it? We don’t feel like guzzling plain water. Who doesn’t love to gulp down tall glasses of sugary drinks and colas? But then, the baggage of weight gain comes along!
