" If there isn't enough water to help your kidneys do their job, you have an acidic environment that builds up internally, think of water as lubricant for your body. Cold water is even better as it absorbs internal heat. Body fluids transport waste products in and out of cells. The main toxin in the body is blood urea nitrogen, a water-soluble waste that is able to pass through the kidneys to be excreted in the urine".
