Health and Fitness Tips

Many of us fail to realize just how important clean drinking water is for the body – did you know that the human organism is primarily water? We are talking about over 70%, with the quality of our health and wellbeing coming down largely to the quality of the waters contained within the body.

The break down of the body’s make up in term of constituents stands at 72% water, 20% solid tissue and bone, and 8% a combination of chemical compounds. When this is looked at from a biochemical standpoint, it stands to reason that the quality of the body’s fluids would have a significant impact on the overall well being of a person. Each life giving action that occurs in the body takes place in this body of water.

The last ten years have brought numerous medical discoveries to the fore of our awareness. One of the discoveries is the capacity of the body to heal itself of nearly an pathology if given a chance. The body instinctively knows how to heal itself and it is clear that water is the key.

Each cell in the body is controlled by complex electrical signals that are sent from the nervous system that stems from the brain. Basically, the nervous system is a very complex system of tiny “waterways”. For example, if the body becomes dehydrated, the fluid in the nerves will congeal, releasing a mixture of organic and synthetic contaminants that distort the vital signals in the body.

Many scholars have now concluded that the distortion of these sensitive communications within the body are the driving mechanism for many degenerative pathologies and neurological diseases such as Chronic Fatigue, anxiety, depression, Attention Deficit Disorder and even Alzheimer’s disease.

Medical studies have revealed that a small drop in body fluids, as little as 4%, can cause a loss of energy up to 30%. People that occasionally suffer from decreased energy levels could be experiencing this as a result of dehydration. If the body fluids drop by 15%, death is a possibility.

The statistics have it that more than 65% of people don’t consume enough fluids, with many of us experiencing some degree of dehydration. Effectively this means that much of the populace is running at roughly 70% of our capacity, and in many cases less.

Conditions such as hypertension, ulcers, sickness, arthritis, fatigue and headaches can all be reduced, and in a majority of cases prevented entirely just by consuming an adequate amount of clean water.

It is important to mention that clean pure water is what should be consumed, not just adequate amounts of fluids like coffee, tea, and sodas. It is very important to realize that many fluids, like those mentioned, will actually dehydrate the body. The idea is to keep the body hydrated.

Keep in mind that every time we eat a meal, a certain amount of fluids will be used to shuttle the nutrients from the bowel. Additionally, an adequate amount of fluid is required to flush the toxin load from the body that accumulates from metabolic wastes.

When the body is given the right amount of good clean water, the proper minerals and nutrients, it can overcome nearly anything.
