Water plays an important role in our day to day life. It helps to maintain our body health and is responsible for removing the toxins from our body. Water helps to keep our joints working appropriately and control the metabolism of our body. If your body does not get sufficient water, the process of metabolism slows down. If you do not have enough water, it also affects your digestion process. If the digestion process is disrupted, the nutrients taken will not be converted in to energy and the body motivates to take more food. This is very counterproductive for those who are looking to lose weight.

Water is very important for those who are trying to lose weight because during the process of weight loss lot of waste should be removed from the body. If you take sufficient volume of water, it will help to remove all the waste from the body. Without water, the body will not function appropriately and metabolize stored fat proficiently.

HEAVY RAINFALL EXPECTED TO CAUSE CLOUDY DRINKING WATER

Issued by - City of Vancouver

As a result of extremely heavy rains that have fallen on the steep mountains above Metro Vancouver’s water supply lakes, some consumers may notice that tap water will become cloudy or coloured within the next 24 hours.
Cloudiness, or turbidity, occurs when sediment or organic material is washed into the region’s reservoirs by the runoff from heavy rainfall.
As turbidity increases, statistical studies have indicated there is the potential for an increase in gastrointestinal illness.

Disinfection levels have been increased as a precaution and Metro Vancouver continues to
monitor water quality closely.
In anticipation of increased turbidity, all residents may wish to set aside a supply of tap water in containers. Water quality updates will be posted to Metro Vancouver's website - www.metrovancouver.org.
