Wired for Water: Why Clean H₂O Is Your Superfuel

Christopher Opfer • April 29, 2025

Hey Young Living Family! Let’s talk about something super simple but absolutely essential: water.

Not the boring “you should drink more water” lecture we’ve all heard a million times. We’re diving deeper — into the electrifying truth about why clean, mineral-rich water is one of the most powerful things you can give your body.

Yes, we’re going there. Electrolytes. Energy. Detox. Brain power. Cellular vibes. Let’s splash into it.

You’re Basically a Walking Water Balloon

Fun fact: The average adult human body is 60-70% water. That’s more than half of you!

Water isn’t just sloshing around in your belly. It’s in your blood, brain, organs, muscles, even in your bones. Every single cell in your body is bathed in water—it’s the medium of life.

Without it? Your body basically turns into a cranky cactus.

You’re Also a Walking Battery (No, Seriously)

Here’s the cool part: You’re not just a water balloon. You’re a highly sophisticated, electrical being. Your brain talks to your body using tiny electric signals, your heart runs on electric rhythm, and your muscles fire thanks to charged particles called electrolytes.

And guess what? Water is the delivery system for those electrical signals.

When you’re well-hydrated with clean, mineral-balanced water, your body’s electrical system runs smoothly. But when you're low on quality H₂O? That current gets sluggish.

Think:

Brain fog
Fatigue
Muscle cramps
Mood swings

So yeah... water = power.

Water Does WAY More Than Just Hydrate

Let’s break down what good water actually does for you:

Detoxes your system – Flushes out toxins, waste, and gunk through kidneys, liver, and sweat.
Feeds your cells – Carries nutrients and oxygen to every part of your body.
Boosts brain power – Your brain is 75% water! Stay hydrated = think clearer.
Regulates temperature – Helps you keep your cool (literally).
Supports digestion – Keeps everything moving smoothly (wink wink).
Energizes muscles – Prevents cramps and fatigue by keeping electrolyte levels balanced.
Protects joints – Lubricates them like a well-oiled machine.

Not All Water Is Created Equal

This part’s big.

Most tap water (and even some bottled stuff) is full of unwanted extras: chlorine, fluoride, heavy metals, microplastics, you name it. That’s why clean, filtered or spring, mineral-rich water is a must.

Your body doesn’t just need H₂O — it needs electrically active water that’s structured and full of life-giving minerals.

Pro tip: Add a pinch of good natural salt (like Celtic sea salt, Himalayan pink salt, or Real Salt from Redmond Salt) to your water. It helps your body absorb it better and restores the mineral balance your cells crave.
