The Importance of Clean Pure Water For Health
Some people are unaware of the importance of clean drinking water for the body. The human organism is mainly composed of water. Since the body is over 70% water, the quality of both our health and wellbeing is largely dependant on the quality of the water that makes up 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.
Many medically based discoveries have occurred during the last decade that has brought the capacity of the human body's ability to heal itself to our awareness. It seems the body can overcome nearly any pathology if given the chance. The body instinctively knows how to heal itself, and water seems to be the key.
Every cell within the body is governed by complex electrical signals sent via the nervous system stemming from the brain. Essentially, the nervous system is a complex array of miniscule "waterways". For instance, if we become dehydrated, the fluid within our nerves congeals, giving way to a congested mix of synthetic and organic contaminants that distort the vital signals within 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.
It has been shown medically that even a decrease as little as 4% in body fluids can cause a loss of energy up to 30%. For those of us that suffer from low energy levels once in a while, it is like caused by dehydration. A drop of 15% in body fluids can actually kill a person.
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's important to clarify that clean pure water is what we are saying that needs to be consumed, and not fluids such as tea, coffee, colas and the like. This distinction is of utmost importance, as many fluids will actually dehydrate the system - we need to hydrate!
Remember, every time we consume a meal, a certain amount of available fluid is required to shuttle the nutrients away from the bowel, and just as importantly, an adequate amount of fluid is needed to flush the toxin load from the body that builds up from metabolic wastes.
If we supply the body with the right minerals and nutrients and an adequate supply of clean water, it can overcome practically anything.
