Did you know that 50-75% of Americans are chronically
dehydrated? ...and that many of those individuals are drinking the
suggested 8 glasses of water a day?
Dehydration is a condition that
occurs when a person loses more fluid than s/he takes in. However, the problem
is not just a lack of water, it is a lack of cellular water! If the water we
drink is unable to get into the cells, we can drink water all day long and still
be dehydrated.
Water is necessary to take nutrients into the cells and to
flush wastes from the cells. Think about the amount of water that is expelled
from our bodies every day. Copious amounts of water are required to digest food
and eliminate wastes. Water in the kidneys neutralizes acidic wastes and sends
them out in the urine. Water is expelled during respiration and is continually
being moved through the skin to moderate temperature and flush the tissues of
the skin. Water is also required for every metabolic process that nothing can
happen without water. Ultimately when water is lacking in our cells, organs
cannot function properly and toxins are allowed to build up.
While some
water is available from the food we eat, the majority of the water we need on a
regular basis must be provided by drinking pure water. The consumption of tea,
coffee, juice or soft drinks should never be considered water intake. Many of
these drinks are so acidic that they end up pulling more water from the cells to
neutralize the acidity - making dehydration even worse.
Common signs of
dehydration that are often ignored include: dark urine, afternoon fatigue,
heartburn, dry skin, acne, headaches and constipation. If these are ignored,
more serious problems develop.
Drinking vitalized
water is one of the easiest and best ways to overcome chronic
dehydration
Most diseases can be traced to
dehydration. In fact, dehydration is the number one cause of stress in
the human body. Many scientists believe it is the #1 cause of death. Dehydration
has also been linked with angina pain, asthma, colitis, diabetes, peptic ulcer
pain, high blood pressure, low back pain, high blood cholesterol - even
aging.
When there is insufficient water inside the cells, every function
suffers and the body must operate from a level of "crisis management." This has
been well documented from the medical perspective, by Dr. Batmanghelidj in his
book, Water: for Health, for Healing, for Life - You're Not Sick, You're
Thirsty. With a lack of cellular water, organs must compete for vital fluids;
balance (homeostasis) gives way to disharmony and disease.
As we age, the
amount of water inside our cells decreases. Our cells actually begin to shrink
and stiffen - their ability to expand and contract is reduced. As a result,
nutrients, oxygen and other metabolic requirements are not efficiently exchanged
at the cell membrane and waste products are not efficiently removed. What we
need is the ability to get water back into our cells, where it counts - and
that's where hexagonal water can make a big difference.
Science is
finally able to show that all water is not equal - that organized, hexagonal
water does, in fact, penetrate the cells more efficiently than other water.
Smaller, more organized, hexagonal units enter the cells rapidly and more
efficiently providing superior hydration with a subsequent effect on nutrient
absorption, waste removal, metabolism, immune function, and overall
health.
Drinking vitalized water is one of the easiest and best ways to
overcome chronic dehydration and to protect your body from the symptoms of
disease and premature aging. Within minutes, vitalized water moves into the
cells, taking nutrients and expelling metabolic wastes in a much more efficient
manner.
