HYDRATION

WATER IS LIFE

Some physiological textbooks state that the human body processes about 10 billion biochemical reactions per second and every single one of them are water dependent. Water plays a critical role in hydration, energy production, and cleansing the body of toxins. Water is the largest component of our bodies and is the chief solvent in nature, meaning it dissolves things into itself and disperses them. Water itself regulates all functions of the body including the activity of the solutes it carries. 

Water has an almost infinite capacity to hold information and is critically important in the production of energy in the body. It is responsible for the manufacture of hydroelectricity, primarily for the functions of the brain. The hydroelectric form of energy is much more suited to the delicate metabolism of the brain as this form of energy is 'clean' - it has almost no residue or waste products. 

It is uncanny how water is used to make electricity inside the cells to energize the intricate functions that keep the cells alive and productive. Certain proteins have an affinity for certain minerals available in the blood circulation and the solution surrounding the cells. Some of these proteins collect sodium and potassium, some magnesium and some calcium. These minerals, when attached to their specific protein, get spun by the rush of water and begin to shift with the fast rotation of the protein. this process manufactures electricity that gets stored in the membrane stockpiles known as ATP (adenosine triphosphate) or GTP (guanosine triphosphate). The appropriate minerals are also relocated to balance the osmotic ratio between the outside and inside of the cells. 

The human body and also the planet we inhabit is approximately 73% water. Connective tissue is about 95% water, the brain is 85% water. Water literally governs every aspect of life on this planet and life within our bodies. Do you see the macrocosmic and microcosmic relationship here?

Optimal hydration is calculated by either, ounces of water for every pound of body weight or multiplying your body weight in kilograms by .033. The resulting number would be the amount of liters of water required for optimal hydration.

Here are some reasons to make sure you are adequately hydrated every day

• Without water, nothing lives.

• Comparative shortage of water first suppresses and then eventually kills certain aspects of the body.

• Water is the primary and cleanest source of energy in the body, compared to sugar and fat.

• Generates electrical and magnetic energy inside each and every cell of the body, providing the necessary energy to live.

• Water is the bonding adhesive in the architectural design of the cell structure.

• Prevents DNA damage and makes its repair mechanisms more efficient.

• Greatly increases the efficiency of the immune system.

• Water is the main solvent of all foods, vitamins, and minerals. Water increases the body’s rate of absorption of essential nutrients.

• Water is used to transport all substances in the body. Both nutrients into cells and toxins away from cells and out of the body.

• Increases the ability of red blood cells to collect oxygen in the lungs and remove waste gases for disposal.

• Clears toxic waste from different parts of the body and takes them to the liver and kidneys for disposal.

• Directly needed for the manufacture of all hormones and neurotransmitters.

• Restores natural sleep rhythms.

• Reduces stress, anxiety, and depression.

Not to mention the gigantic laundry list of disease symptoms that result from dehydration. At 1% dehydration, people can start to experience psychological symptoms. As we age we become less and less sensitive to the body’s cries for thirst, often confusing them for hunger or other maladies. Over time chronic dehydration sets in, creating a myriad of symptomatic expressions of the body’s desperate need to compromise one system after another to get the brain the water it needs to survive.
