Water is a key element to LIFE!
The Human body is about 75% water & 25% solid matter
Blood is 94% water and inside the cells 75% water which is why we can transfer nutrients from our blood into the cells through a process called osmosis. When we have depleted levels of water in the blood problems occur.
Our brain is 85% water and extremely sensitive to dehydration and water depletion
FOURTY SIX REASONS WHY YOUR BODY NEEDS WATER EVERY DAY
- Without water, nothing lives
- Comparative shortage of water first suppresses and eventually kills some aspects of the body.
- Water is the main source of energy – its the “cash flow” of the body
- Water generates electrical and magnetic energy inside each and every cell of the body – it provides the power to live.
- Water is the bonding adhesive in the architectural design of the cell structure
- Water prevents DNA damage and makes its repair mechanisms more efficient – less abnormal DNA is made.
- Water increases greatly the efficiency of the immune system in the bone marrow, where the immune system is formed (all its mechanisms) – including its efficincy against cancer.
- Water is the main solvent for all foods, vitamins, and minerals. It is used in the breakdown of food into smaller particles and their eventual metabolism and assimulation.
- Water energises food, and food partifles are then able to supply the body with the energy during digestion. This is why food without water has absolutely no energy value for the body.
- Water increases the body’s rate of absorption of essential substances in food.
- Water is used to transport all substances inside the body.
- Water increases the efficiency of red blood cells in collecting oxygen in the lungs.
- When water reaches the cell, it brings the cell oxygen and takes the waste gases to the lungs for disposal
- Water clears toxic waste from different parts of the body and takes it to the liver and kidneys for disposal
- Water is the main lubricant in the joint spaces and helps prevent arthritis and back pain
- Water is used in the spinal discs to make them “shock-absorbing water cushions”
- Water is the best lubricating laxative and prevents constipation
- Water helps reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes
- Water prevents clogging of arteries in the heart and the brain
- Water is essential for the body’s cooling (sweat) and heating (electrical) systems
- Water gives us power and electrical energy for all brain functions, most particularly thinking
- Water is directly needed for the efficient manufacture of all neurotransmitters, including serotonin
- Water is directly needed for the production of all hormones made by the brain, including melatonin
- Water can help prevent attention deficit disorder in children and adults
- Water increases efficiency at work; it expands your attention span
- Water is a better pick-me-up than any other beverage in the world – and it has no side effects
- Water helps reduce stress, anxiety and depression
- Water restores normal sleep rhythms
- Water helps reduce fatigue – it gives us the energy of youth
- Water makes the skin smoother and helps decrease the effects of aging
- Water gives lustre and shine to the eyes
- Water helps prevent glaucoma
- Water normalises the blood-manufacturing systems in the bone marrow – it helps prevent leukemia and lymphoma
- Water is absolutely vital for making the immune system more efficient in different regions to fight infections and cancer cells where they are formed
- Water dilutes the blood and prevents it from clotting during circulation
- Water decreases premenstrual pains and hot flushes
- Water and heartbeats create the dilution and waves that keep things from sedimenting in the bloodstream
- The human body has no stored water to draw on during dehydration. This is why you must drink regularly and throughout the day
- Dehydration prevents sex hormone production – one of the primary causes of impotence and loss of libido
- Drinking water separates the sensations of thirst and hunger
- To lose weight, water is the best way to go – drink water on time and lose weight without dieting. Also, you will not eat excessively when you feel hungry but are in fact only thirsty for water
- Dehydration causes deposits of toxic sediments in the tissue spaces, joints, kidneys, liver, brain and skin. Water will clear these deposits
- Water reduces the incidence of morning sickness in pregnancy
- Water integrates mind and body functions. It increases ability to realise goals and purpose
- Water helps prevent the loss of memory as we age. It helps reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease and Lu Gehrig’s disease
- Water helps reverse addictive urges, including those for caffeine, alcohol and some drugs.
Now following this exhaustive list here is the list of disorders that have been linked to dehydration and the bodies many cries for water……..
Some of the psychological disorders that signal dehydration
- feeling tired without plausible reason
- feeling flushed
- feeling irritable and unreasonable short-tempered
- feeling anxious
- feeling dejected and inadequate
- feeling depressed
- feeling heavy-headed
- disturbed sleep particularly in the elderly
- anger and quick temper
- unreasonable impatience
- very short attention span
- shortness of breath in an otherwise healthy person without lung disease or infection
- cravings for manufactured beverages such as coffee, tea, soda and alcoholic drinks
- dreaming of oaceans, rivers and other bodies of water
Primary drought and resource management programs
- asthma
- allergies
- hypertension or high blood pressure
- type 2 diabetes
- constipation
- autoimmune disorders
The crisis calls for water of the body
- heartburn
- dyspeptic pain
- angina pain
- lower back pain
- rheumatoid joint pain including alkylosing spondylitis
- migraine headaches
- colitis pain
- fibromyalgic pains
- morning sickness during pregnancy
- bulimia
Dehydration & Disease
- obesity
- raised low-density chloresterol in the blood circulation
- raised triglyerides
- cholesterol plaque formation in the arteries
- coronary thrombosis
- osteoporosis
- osteoarthritis
- heart failure
- repeated strokes
- juvenile diabetes
- alzheiemer’s disease
- multiple sclerosis
- amyotrophic lateal sclerosis otherwise known as lou gehrigs disease
- muscular dystrophy
- scleroderma
- cancers
- aids
Dehydration & the brain
- affects in the blood-brain barrier
- neurotransmitters including serotomin and histamine
Dehydration & hormones
Stress = dehydration & dehydration = stress
all hormones are altimately affected particularly
- vasopressin
- cortisone release factor
- endorphins
- renin-angiotension (RA)
- Prolactin
- Cortisone R-F
Other conditions affected
- Depression and chronic fatigue syndrome
- dry & burning eyes
- higher blood cholesterol
- gout
- kidney stones
- skin & hydration
As you can see – dehydration is so underestimated by everyone from ourselves to the medical profession and even in some cases allied health personal. Whenever you start to feel a little under the weather – try drinking extra glasses of water
