Creating a Healthy Workplace: Just Add Water

Sept. 12, 2011 - PRLog -- To most companies, human resources are their most valuable asset so making sure employees stay healthy and productive is a smart move. Workplace illness has a negative effect on production, which in turn impacts both profits and employee morale. Fortunately, there’s a simple solution that employers can provide to employees to keep the office flowing smoothly: a water cooler system from Just Water (http://justwater.co.nz/About-Us)

Water is more than a source of life; it’s the fuel that charges living cells. More than 2/3rds of the human body contains water--92% through blood, 75% of the brain and muscles and 22% of human bone.

Access to non-contaminated water, such as that provided through a certified water cooler system, assures health in seven important ways:
1) Regulating body temperature, which increases comfort
2) Promotes detoxification through elimination of wastes, which helps boost immune function
3) Aids in lubrication of human joints for ease in movement and flexibility
4) Helps with metabolism, the biochemical controller of human life
5) Transports nutrients to cells and helps organs absorb nutrients more efficiently
6) Manages pH balance, to encourage maximum use of oxygen in the body
7) Maintenance of proper viscosity of blood, plasma and fibrinogen, crucial components in the prevention of cardiovascular disease.

To offset fatigue at the office, encourage drinking water from a cooler all day long. People that do not drink enough water often experience symptoms such as kidney stones, gastritis, heartburn, constipation, digestive difficulties, irregular blood pressure, dry skin, sluggishness, backaches, migraines and headaches. Difficulty concentrating and staying alert are also tell-tale signs of dehydration.

While the health benefits of consuming water in the workplace are crystal clear, installing a water cooler has another benefit. It’s a gathering place for networking and communication among employees. This phenomenon, known as the water cooler effect, can be beneficial for mental health and building camaraderie.
