Water dissolves some vitamins and helps bring nutrients to the cells in your body. Water also helps you swallow & digest foods, and helps keep your body temperature normal.
Minerals are used by the body to build new cells and control important body processes.
Vitamins are needed to help the body use carbohydrates, fats and proteins and to help body systems function. Many kinds of vitamins are essential to your diet.

quote of the day

Don't wait for time. Make it.
Don't wait for love. Feel it.
Don't wait for money. Earn it.
Don't wait for the path. Find it.
Don't wait for opportunity. Create it.
Don't go for less. Get the best.
Don't compare. Be unique.
Don't fight your misfortune. Transform it.
Don't avoid failure. Use it.
Don't dwell on mistake. Learn from it.
Don't back down. Go around.
Don't close your eyes. Open your mind.

Don't run for life. Embrace it.

I am Thankful :

AND GUTTERS THAT NEED FIXING  
BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE A HOME. 
FOR ALL THE COMPLAINING I HEAR ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT 
BECAUSE IT MEANS WE HAVE FREEDOM OF SPEECH..

BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM ALIVE.
