Why I Have To Drink
The Best Thing Of All
Our body is made up to sixty- percent water
The brain and heart our seventy-three percent
The lungs our eighty-three percent
The skin is sixty-four percent
The muscle and kidneys our seventy-nine percent
Even our bones our thirty-one percent
I have to be crazy not to drink water
There are days I don't think of drinking
Other times I might get a glass or two
Studies show the average person should drink eight, eight ounces glasses a day
In work, I had access to soda
So for years all I did is drink every flavor
Coke, Orange, Sprite, Gingerale, Root Beer, Diet Coke
Then I became creative
I would mix different combinations of each and then would blend to a funny color
I called it a rainbow drink
When I met my wife she explained how bad soda is for us
All sugar
She soon stopped drinking it
Then I followed
Ice tea
I turned to Poweraid drinks and Hi-C
Still not the best
I turned to orange and apple juice and chocolate milk
Finally, just plain water
It has been a journey
Almost forty- years of change
I don't miss soda any more
The bubbles bother me
Now when I even have Ice Tea
It is too sweet for me
So here I sit
Pouring a nice tall glass of cold water
Now I hear
Drinking warm water is better than cold water
It helps aid digestion and circulation and gets rid of toxins faster
So once again another curveball
Just when I begin to figure things out
I find some new news
The bottom line drink water and be healthier
The more we do it
The better we are
One simple step every day
Can help us in many ways
