Water is essential for the body to function properly... We, as a people, have for many, many years made it our practice to drink a lot of water. This, along with the benefits of eating good food and exercising, and above all, keeping a good conscience before our Maker, has kept us relatively healthy people. Though there are many well-documented scientific studies about the need of human beings for water, common sense tells us that since our conception, living our first nine months in a "bag of waters," that water is foundational to our human existence.
